HISTORY :

Affectionate since the high Antiquity, in particular for its beauty, it is especially in Egypt and in the South-East Asia that the culture of the hibiscus developed in major part. In the 12th century, 99 of the 30,000 existing species were imported by Arab and Berber populations in Spain; then in the 1600s, it was America's turn to be charmed by this flower planted by slaves. It later became the national flower in South Korea and Malaysia.

PROPERTIES :

The hibiscus flower was once prescribed by doctors to soothe coughs and cure angina. The inhabitants of Senegal and Mauritania are great consumers. They prepare with this flower the traditional local drink called: Bissap (appreciated for its laxative properties).

COOKING :

Dried and infused, the hibiscus flower will flavour your sauces and jams. Even the popular cupcake lends itself to the recipe for "Cherry and Hibiscus Flower Cupcake". You can use our hibiscus flower in your sweet recipes, but also in savoury dishes such as "Chicken with hibiscus flower".

A little tip not to be overlooked to surprise your guests and take them to West Africa: Place a hibiscus flower at the bottom of the glass before serving the champagne !!!! Effect guaranteed!!!
