€0.04 per gram
Hibiscus flowers ( Hibiscus sabdariffa ) are widely used to prepare infusions, resulting in an aromatic and floral tea with a vibrant red color. It is recommended that the infusion be carried out for a controlled time to avoid an excessively bitter taste.
Technical characteristics of hibiscus flowers:
- Bioactive compounds: Hibiscus flowers are rich in organic acids, such as hibiscus acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, oxalic acid and vitamin C. They also contain anthocyanins, which are responsible for the vibrant color of the flowers.
- Nutritional profile: Hibiscus flowers are an excellent source of vitamin C, with a concentration that can be up to three times greater than that of blackcurrants and nine times greater than that of lemons.
- Versatility of use: In addition to infusions, hibiscus flowers are often used in refreshing drinks, such as karkade in Arab countries, and can also be used in cooking for sweets and jellies.
Traditional uses:
Hibiscus is traditionally consumed as a tea, appreciated for both its vibrant color and its refreshing, slightly tart flavor. It is also used as an ingredient in beverages, herbal teas, and culinary preparations in many cultures.
