What it is

Hibiscus flowers are the colorful blooms of the *Hibiscus sabdariffa* plant, native to Africa. They are typically dried for use in food and beverages. The flowers have a tart, cranberry-like flavor.

Why it's used

Dried hibiscus flowers are often used to make herbal teas, infusions, and flavored waters due to their vibrant red color and tart taste. They can also be incorporated into jams, jellies, and other preserves to add a fruity tang and color.

Health notes

Hibiscus flowers are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for food use. Some studies suggest hibiscus may have a modest effect on blood pressure, but more research is needed. JECFA has evaluated hibiscus and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified). Evidence on other health effects is mixed and requires further investigation.
