Product Use |
Hibiscus is a tropical plant that is grown for its vibrant flowers and tart, fruity flavor. It is native to Africa, Asia, and the Pacific Islands, but is now cultivated in many tropical and subtropical regions around the world, including Latin America and the Caribbean. The plant is typically grown in well-drained, fertile soil and requires warm temperatures and plenty of sunlight to thrive.
The flowers of the hibiscus plant are typically harvested by hand. They are picked at their peak ripeness, usually in the morning when the flowers are the most fragrant. The flowers are then dried in the sun or in a drying room until they are crispy. This process helps to retain the vibrant color and flavor of the flowers.
