In 2019, Hip Garden Company launched a unique Start Up in the Voznesenskiy district of the Nikolaev region, – it set up a plantation of cultivated, high-vitamin and high-yielding rose hips, which currently occupies more than 30 hectares.
Rose hips grown on Hip Garden plantations contain a unique amount (especially when compared to wild rose hip species) of vitamin C (4200 mg%), vitamin P (3000 mg%), sugar (BRIX – 32 °Bx). The content of fat in the seeds equals to 17200 mg%, which significantly exceeds the fat content in wild rose hips seeds. It also contains a large amount of other vitamins, as well as macro- and microelements, flavonoids, catechins, tannins and Lycopene.
The high content of vitamins, fats and other biologically active substances makes our rose hips suitable for use by companies producing pharmaceutics, tea, cosmetics and even confiture food products, due to high sugar content and the persistent red color of the skin and pulp of the rose hip.
