π Winter Rose Browse
2 cups | Approx 30G
Hazel Leaf • Herb Robert • Rose Petals
Digestion • Antioxidant • Enrichment
85% Hazel • 10% Herb Robert • 5% Rose
A simple winter browse inspired by leafy hedgerows and woodland edges, finished with a delicate scattering of rose petals for a naturally festive touch.
Winter Rose Browse keeps things intentionally simple. Hazel leaf forms the heart of the mix, providing plenty of leafy browse and varied texture for natural chewing and forage exploration.
A smaller amount of Herb Robert adds another wild botanical, bringing a completely different leaf shape, scent and texture without allowing its stronger character to dominate the blend.
Finally, rose petals make up just 5%, scattered lightly through the leaves to add colour, aroma and a little winter charm.
The result is a forage that looks seasonal without relying on sugary fruit, brightly coloured treats or unnecessary fillers.
