About Hibiscus
Hibiscus is a vibrant, tropical flowering plant native to regions like Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean, celebrated for its bold flavor and stunning red pigment. The petals are often dried and steeped to make herbal teas, such as hibiscus tea, which is rich in antioxidants like anthocyanins. These compounds may support heart health by helping reduce blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Hibiscus is also a source of vitamin C, iron, and polyphenols that can promote immunity and reduce inflammation. Its tart, cranberry-like taste is cherished in many cuisines, influencing beverages, desserts, and sauces. While generally considered healthy, excessive consumption may cause drops in blood pressure or interact with certain medications. Moderation is key to enjoying hibiscus as a refreshing and healthful addition to your diet.
