Hibiscus Roselle Jamaica Flower

Hibiscus flowers are harvested from a small flowering plant which grows in the tropical regions of Africa, the Carribean Islands and Middle Eastern countries. The fresh flowers are deep red in colour and trumpet shaped. The dried flower petals are deep red-brown in colour and have a tangy/tart taste.

Hibiscus flowers are generally used in making flavoured tea blends and various versions of local drinks.

  • Use as an ingredient in baked goods
