Description
Fruit - edible in both raw and cooked form. Despite its small size of up to 15 mm, this fruit has an unusually sweet and pleasant taste. Note that there is little flesh around the many seeds. The seed is notable for its high vitamin E content. It can be ground into powder and mixed with flour or added as a supplement to other foods. Be sure to remove the seed hairs thoroughly before consumption. A delicious tea can be made from these fruits with a fruity flavor, which is very rich in vitamin C, even richer than that of R. canina.
