Health Benefits of Hibiscus

Hibiscus

Hibiscus is a flowering plant of the Malvaceae family, which also contains mallow. It grows in warm temperate, tropical, and semi-tropical climates. Hibiscus flowers can grow to be almost 10 inches in diameter and come in a wide range of colors from white to red, pink, yellow, and orange. Butterflies and hummingbirds seem to love all varieties!

 

Hibiscus goes by other names, too, such as roselle, rosella, sorrel, rosa de Jamaica, sour tea, zobo, and bissap. The flowers can be dried and made into a caffeine-free tea, which has a tart and fruity flavor similar to cranberries. You can add honey, mint, or ginger to change the flavor and boost the health benefits!

The dried flowers can also be used in a number of other culinary preparations! Scroll down for a fun enchilada recipe, and return to our blog where we publish new recipes every day!
