What is Hibiscus?

Hibiscus refers to various species within the Hibiscus genus, a large group of flowering plants in the Malvaceae (mallow) family. The most commonly used species for culinary and medicinal purposes is Hibiscus sabdariffa, known for its deep red calyces (the cup-like structure that remains after the flower fades). Native to tropical regions, hibiscus has been enjoyed for its flavor and vibrant color for centuries.  

Why Hibiscus Matters

Hibiscus is more than just a beautiful flower; it’s a burst of tart flavor and a source of natural color. Its refreshing taste makes it a popular ingredient in teas and beverages, while its vibrant red pigment adds visual appeal to various culinary creations. In traditional practices, hibiscus has been valued for its potential antioxidant properties and other health benefits. At Godzilla Herbs, our Hibiscus flowers are carefully harvested at their peak, gently dried to preserve their vibrant color and tart flavor, and packaged with care, bringing you the pure essence and refreshing zest of this remarkable bloom.
