If it is best known for being used as a game in schoolyards, scratching hair, a wild fruit from the rose bush, can be eaten plain, or be transformed into syrup and jam.
In the freshness of winter mornings, it is one of the rare fruits that can still be picked: the rose hip, commonly called hair to scratch. If it proliferates in the Drôme, its harvest requires a little patience. “It is not very easy to pick because it is a rose bush and there are quite a few thorns. It is quite long too, because there is no other method than to pick it fruit by fruit.“, explains Clément de Graeve, picker for” Wild taste buds “. Acidulous and sweet after removing the hair and glitches it’s like “a natural fruit paste“, according to him.
If the landowners have given their consent for this wild harvest, they expect a certain respect for nature. “The idea is not to take everything. We leave fruit on trees to feed animals“, emphasizes Léa, Clément’s colleague. The harvested fruits will then be transformed into jam or syrup.”When we pick fruit, we know where it comes from. They are wild and therefore in the most natural state possible“, specifies Nicolas Humbert, co-founder of” Wild taste buds “.
