Dramamama recently shared some great information regarding the importance of adding vitamin C to the diet as Cfers are deficient in it for various reasons.
I was sitting down to a cup of tea tonight and pulled out rose hip. Here it is packed with vitamin C. In fact, there is 1700-2000 mg per 100 g in the dried product, one of the richest plant sources of vitamin C. It also contains vitamins A, D,K and E, and antioxidant flavonoids.
Rosehips are usually consumed in tea and powdered supplement form. Research indicates that no side effects for consumption of rosehips has been reported or identified in studies. Rosehips provide more vitamin C content per serving than any fruit, vegetable or synthetic supplement. They are considered to be a safe and mild alternative for natural Vitamin C intake in adults and children.
Just wanted to pass this along. I would imagine simply adding a few tea bags to your homemade ice tea brew would be a great way to add it if you don't like it straight. I like it hot with honey. Not sure how to add it to my 2 year olds diet other than supplement.
