Hibiscus - Hibiscus sabdariff

The Hibiscus (Hibiscus sabdariffa) is traditionally used in hot and cold drinks, as a flavoring and coloring agent in the food industry, and as a herbal remedy for its ability to reduce fatigue and promote cardiovascular health.

Hibiscus sabdariffa L. is an annual shrub that can grow more than two meters high. The shrub usually has smooth, red stems and cream or pale yellow flowers that turn pink when they wilt at the end of the day. At that time, a characteristic red calyx grows, which is fleshy, crispy and juicy. This calyx turns brown and bursts open when it is dry and grown. The calyx, stems and leaves have a sour taste reminiscent of cranberries.

Dried flowers can be used to make tea, while the green leaves can serve as a spicy version of spinach. In East Africa, the local calyx tea is called "Sudan tea", where the juice of the hibiscus calyxes is used together with other ingredients to make a health-promoting drink.
