Cranberry Hibiscus

Cranberry Hibiscus

Hibiscus acetosella

Cranberry Hibiscus is of African origin.

The color and pleasing, tangy taste of the leaves make them a great addition to salads or stir-fries. The somewhat fleshy leaves and young shoots may be cooked as a vegetable and eaten with rice.

Blend the petals with lime juice and sugar to make a tasty and beautiful drink. The petals add a smooth texture and intense color, more than any special flavor.

Cranberry hibiscus plants are native to South Africa; the tropical, subtropical and arid regions of South, Central and North Africa; and the Caribbean.
