Qiushan Rosa Roxburghii
Rosa Roxburghii is a unique wild resource native to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. Qiushan Rosa Roxburghii grows along streams and rivers in the highland basins of Anshun, Guizhou Province. The area enjoys an average annual temperature of 17.4°C, vegetation coverage exceeding 75%, and clean air far from pollution. With the advantage of being close to world-renowned national 5A-level scenic spots such as Huangguoshu Waterfall and Dragon Palace, this unique geographical environment allows the wild Rosa Roxburghii growing here to have the highest levels of vitamin C, P, and SOD among all fruits and vegetables. It contains 2500 mg of vitamin C per 100 grams of fresh fruit—12 times that of kiwi—and 54000 u of SOD (superoxide dismutase) per 100 grams of fresh fruit. As a result, it is known as the “King of Vitamin C.” Each 100 grams of Rosa Roxburghii also contains about 800 mg of tannin, approximately 2 grams of acid, and generally 4 to 5 grams of total sugar. It has a sour and astringent taste, and is considered neutral in nature. It aids digestion, strengthens the spleen, and helps consolidate and stop diarrhea. It is used to treat indigestion, abdominal distension, dysentery, enteritis, and vitamin C deficiency. Rosa Roxburghii juice can also block the synthesis of N-nitroso compounds in the human body and has anti-cancer properties, as well as special efficacy in treating lead poisoning.
