What it is

Hibiscus is a flower from the *Hibiscus sabdariffa* plant, native to Africa. The dried calyces (sepals) of the flower are used to make teas and infusions. It is often dried and processed for use in food and beverages.

Why it's used

Hibiscus is commonly used to add a tart, fruity flavor and a vibrant red color to beverages, desserts, and jams. It is frequently found in herbal teas, fruit juices, and kombucha. Its natural tartness can also contribute to the overall flavor profile of products.

Health notes

Hibiscus is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Some studies suggest hibiscus may have a modest effect on blood pressure, but more research is needed. JECFA has evaluated hibiscus and established specifications for its use. Evidence regarding other health effects is still developing.

Allergen info

Hibiscus is not one of the FDA's major allergens and does not contain gluten.
