Yes, i cut them in half and scoop out the hairy seeds. BTW all rose hips are edible, some are "better" in taste then others... the one you can find in the shops as tea, jam or whatev is mostly 'Rosa Canina', which is definitely one of my favourites. Here a picture of our last harvest 2023...

Wow, this is amazing! Thanks for sharing the picture and information 😃 Would of taken a long time to harvest and process all of those...

...some are "better" than others

But none taste particularly 'good;' gotcha

I might have to go back and pick some to try eating, after scooping out the seeds, some day

I just realised, your profile pic, is that from The Fifth Element movie?

😏 That's not what i wanted to say about the raw ones... it's more, the riper - the sweeter. And even when cleaned out there always rest a bit of these little hairs, that's the boff part when eating raw. hehehe. Though the jam is a delight... best confiture ever. To me at least.

Good eyes on the picture, yes it's a Mondoshawan... 😁

Okay — that is interesting. Thanks for clarifying! I suppose the cooking during the jam-making process would render any remaining hairs non-irritable

A Mondoshawan! Well there you go. Missed that detail. Been a while since I saw the film but I remember it fondly.

This morning I have been enjoying your recent posts, I've found them interesting 🙂

The less 'hair' the less irritation... But yeah in the jam you wont realise some.

TFE - best film ever to me... 😁
