ROSELLE CALYX POWDER

Hibiscus sabdariffa

Roselle is a fantastic annual shrub from Africa that has more uses than one can shake a stick at! The leaves, flowers, calyx ("fruit") and seeds are all used as a food source around the tropical world. The calyx, which is the part of the fruit like the green "leaf" on top of the tomato, of roselle is quite swollen and succulent, which has made it become a fantastic food source due to its delicious and succulent nature. The flavor is fruity, berry like and very sour. It almost has a cranberry like flavor, but more sour and sweeter. Used extensively in jams, marmalades, jellies, cakes, drinks and more. If a person needs a kick of sour and an intensely beautiful pink through red coloration, look no further.
With all the same amazing flavor and color, powdered Roselle Calyx offers the benefit of making juices and teas without the need to brew it first. A pinch of roselle powder will turn any drink into a deep pinkish red near instantly and totally naturally. It serves well as a food coloring in things like ice cream, yogurts, rice, and beverages.

The powdered calyx will last 3 years in proper storage. Fresh Roselle Calyx are available between September and November within Taiwan only.
