Hibiscus sabdariffa is a member of the mallow family known for its vibrant red flowers. Large, showy hibiscus flowers thrive in tropical habitats and are commonly made into hibiscus tea. The cooling, refreshing brew can be quite tart. When enjoyed hot or iced, its common to add a natural sweetener to dull the tartness. Our organically cultivated hibiscus flower is ideal for blending into herbal infusions, crafting herbal syrups, and dying fabric.
Hibiscus may help reduce blood pressure, lower blood sugar and insulin resistance, and improve hyperlipidemia.
Hibiscus tea has traditionally been used to help with coughs, urinary tract infections, digestive upsets, diarrhea, candidiasis, and as a general immune tonic and antimicrobial agent.
Hibiscus flowers are often intercropped with peanuts. Occasionally fragments of peanut shells are present. Caution for individuals with severe peanut allergies.
