Guest guest Posted November 12, 2002 Report Share Posted November 12, 2002 Hi Kris, While I admittedly am not an expert on the processing and preparation of rose hips. I can say with a reasonable amount of confidence that the seeds themselves (as most seeds do) are likely to be very high in plant generated pesticides for use in their defense. Likely demonstration of this is the birds lack of interest. My suggestion would be to leave the seeds out. Looking forward to meeting this week. See you then. sincerely, DMM http://www.cedarcanyonclinic.com --- In @y..., " Kris " <kris.johnson@a...> wrote: > I have rose hips in the garden - small ones about 1 cm in diameter, or a > little more.
