Rose hip
Other names rosehip, Rosa canina fruit
Rose hip: moderate in salicylate; low in FODMAPs, histamine, fructose, sucrose, nickel and oxalates. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- SalicylateModerate
The rose hip is a wild fruit used medicinally, which is the profile that tends to sit high on the salicylate lists, and no measurement of it is published.
- FODMAPsLow
The rose hip is eaten as a syrup, a tea or a purée rather than whole, so what FODMAP reaches the gut depends on the preparation more than on the fruit.
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)Low
The rose hip is dried for tea, and drying is where histamine can appear: warm hours are what let the bacteria that build it work.
- FructoseFODMAPsLow
The syrup is where most people meet the rose hip, and a syrup concentrates whatever fructose the fruit had.
- SucroseLow
Commercial rose hip syrup is heavily sweetened, so its sucrose is a question for the label rather than for the fruit.
- NickelLow
Rose hip is the exception in the study that measured it. Lingonberries and blueberries came out clear on cadmium, chromium and nickel; rose hips separately carried LEAD beyond the limit set for fruit and ALUMINIUM at 8 mg/g. That is not nickel, and no nickel figure of its own is published for the rose hip — but a fruit that accumulates two other metals is not one to call clear. The samples came from an unpolluted area, which makes the finding harder rather than easier to dismiss.

Frequently asked questions
Which intolerances does rose hip affect?
Rose hip is notable for salicylate, FODMAPs, histamine, fructose, sucrose, nickel and oxalates. Clear on lactose, gluten, oligosaccharides, sorbitol and tyramine.
Does rose hip contain salicylate?
Rose hip contains moderate levels of salicylate. The rose hip is a wild fruit used medicinally, which is the profile that tends to sit high on the salicylate lists, and no measurement of it is published.
Does rose hip contain FODMAPs?
Rose hip contains only low levels of FODMAPs. The rose hip is eaten as a syrup, a tea or a purée rather than whole, so what FODMAP reaches the gut depends on the preparation more than on the fruit.
Does rose hip contain histamine?
Rose hip contains only low levels of histamine. The rose hip is dried for tea, and drying is where histamine can appear: warm hours are what let the bacteria that build it work.
Does rose hip contain fructose?
Rose hip contains only low levels of fructose. The syrup is where most people meet the rose hip, and a syrup concentrates whatever fructose the fruit had. Amounts vary by brand and recipe, so always check the label of the exact product.
