I'm pretty sure that rhodomel is made with rose petals, not rose hips. Rose hip mead could be good, too, but most people mean a rose petal flavored mead when they talk about rhodomel. — λ 21:22, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What do they taste like?

if you don't try the bigger ones: tasty! but beware of eating too much, then it's possible you get bellyaches ;) --Queryzo 10:08, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

But what kind of flavor are they, sweet, tart, what?

The hip itself is tart and astringent. The tea is also tart, but tasty. Tea is even better when you add in some mint leaves to tone down the astringent bite of the hips.

Boiled hips, with butter and salt, are reminicent of Asparagus or Mustard Greens, and are an excellent dinner veggie.

Hips are also used as a filler/ flavor in soups, and can be roasted and ground into a meal that makes a different tasting tortilla or bisquit.

Page should get a table on the right with all the species of rosehip (rosa rugosa, rosa canina, ...)

I have recently seen more than one claim on the high Vitamin C content of Rosehips, we had it tested and the highest we got was about 220mg/kg of Vit C on the dried material. Does anybody have actual Laboratory tests confirming this claim? Might the 1700 to 2100mg/kg be a typo that is just being copied over from other sources?

How're these sources for you: [1] [2] [3] - a quick Google search! Oh, and this article and the vitamin C one quote vitamin C content to be "up to 2000 mg per 100 g", not per kg, 10 times what you stated - Jack · talk · 18:04, Thursday, 22 February 2007

I suggest removing that paragraph. It seem out of place - a little specific. And it read like a chinchilla owners newsletter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Surfbruddah (talk • contribs) 21:09, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I got rid of the flag in the second section for lacking references since there is a lone reference there. Problem is, it's the only citation in the whole article, thus I flagged the article as a whole for needing more citations. I do see alot of ^{[citation needed]} flags in the aforementioned section, which begs the question: is the factual accuracy disputed and needing flagging or what? And today's 9/11 so let's all just reflect for a bit and hope for the best for the troops.
