Rosehips have been used since medieval times for cooking - and for pranks. Children have used them to make itching powder. They are alsoÌýused as a syrup and contain twenty times more Vitamin C than the humble orange. In the Second World War, volulnteers were sent out to collect hundreds of tons of them every year - all to keep the nation healthy.
