Abstract
<jats:p>The gathering of rose hips represents an interesting example of human adaptation to the natural environment - a form of human–nature interaction shaped over thousands of years. This long-standing relationship is reflected in the diverse folk names for rosehips (e.g., wild rose, false rose, thorn rose, dog rose, bear rose hip) and the traditional dishes prepared from them (e.g., soups called masramatsun, masratan, masrattu, masuri spas, etc.), which encapsulate layers of ancient cultural realities (in Armenian, the word for rose hips is masur, and part of the word masra – commonly used in traditional dish names – derives from masur, signifying that the food is made from rose hips).</jats:p>
