Frontier Co-op Hibiscus Flowers, Cut & Sifted, Kosher | 1 lb. Bulk Bag

Frontier Co-op's cut and sifted hibiscus flowers are individually handpicked, dried in the sun, cut and sifted, and then dried once more. Their process does not include radiation or chemicals of any kind, producing a kosher, non-irradiated product. Hibiscus has minimal or no aroma, yet it delivers a flavorful taste that is perfect for both cold and hot beverages. It can also be added to your favorite recipes to add its tart, cranberry-like flavor.

Hibiscuses are shrubs and small trees that produce beautiful, colorful trumpet-shaped flowers. Native to warm climates, they are just one of several species in the Malvaceae family. The plant has virtually no fragrance (some offer a minimal scent). Some common names include wax mallow, mazapan, Turk's cap mallow, and sleeping hibiscus.

Hibiscus cut and sifted flowers are caffeine-free, making them ideal for herbal tea blends. Or mix them with green tea for a soothing, refreshing flavor and aroma. They are tart and colorful, which makes them a nice addition to any cuisine. Hibiscus cut and sifted flowers have also been used in cosmetics and as a dye.

When the cut and sifted flowers are dried out and soaked in hot water, they deliver a tart flavor with a hint of cranberry-like flavor. Hibiscus flowers enhance the taste of green and black teas with their flavor. Mix them with peppermint, linden leaves or spearmint to add robust, intense flavor to beverages.

Frontier Co-op Hibiscus Flowers are hand-picked and sun-dried, and then cut and sifted to provide a flavorful blend for many drinks and foods. Their hibiscus has zero additives and zero chemicals. It is kosher and non-irradiated.
