Hibiscus is celebrated for its vivid crimson calyces and tart, cranberry-like flavor that adds both beauty and brightness to culinary creations. The large, fleshy petals are sun-dried to preserve their striking color and bold, tangy essence, making hibiscus a beloved ingredient around the world.

Historical & Cultural Background:

Native to Africa and now cultivated in tropical regions worldwide, hibiscus has deep roots in cultural traditions. In Egypt and Sudan, karkadé tea is served both hot and cold during celebrations. In the Caribbean, spiced sorrel is a cherished holiday drink, and in Mexico, agua de jamaica is a refreshing everyday beverage. Across cultures, hibiscus has been valued not only for its taste and color but also as a symbol of hospitality and festivity.

Traditional & Modern Applications:

• Steeped into refreshing herbal teas and cold beverages

• Used as a natural food and beverage coloring

• Incorporated into jams, syrups, and desserts

• Added to cocktails and culinary sauces for a tart-sweet note

Harvest & Processing:

The fleshy red calyces are handpicked after the flowers fade, then carefully sun-dried to preserve their vivid pigment and full-bodied flavor.

Precautions:

Hibiscus may interact with certain medications and may affect blood pressure. Consult with a qualified healthcare provider before use if pregnant, nursing, or taking medications.
Hibiscus may be intercropped with peanuts. May contain peanuts or shell fragments.
