Hibiscus sabdariffa

Red hibiscus (roselle) is rich in antioxidants, helps regulate blood pressure, promotes digestion and hydration, supports cardiovascular health, and improves skin and hair radiance. It is primarily used in infusions (bissap, karkade) but also in juices, jams, or cosmetics.

Its benefits include diuretic, anti-inflammatory, and toning effects, although it is not recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding women.

  • Infusion/Herbal Tea: The most common form (bissap, karkadé, agua de Jamaica): pour hot water over the dried flowers. A handful of leaves corresponds to 20g, which makes 4 cups that you can filter and drink throughout the day.
  • 1 tablespoon equals one cup
  • Can be drunk hot or cold.
  • Juice & Syrups: Prepared with infused flowers, often sweetened.
  • Cosmetics: Used in masks for its toning and hydrating effects on skin and hair.
  • Cooking: In jams, sauces.

Not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women or young children.

Seek medical advice if you are taking medication for blood pressure or diabetes, as it may interact.
