Hibiscus

Hibiscus (Hibiscus sabdariffa) is a vibrant and tropical herb known for its bright red flowers and a wide range of health benefits. Native to tropical and subtropical regions, including parts of Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean, hibiscus has been used for centuries in traditional medicine. It is most commonly consumed in tea, where its tangy, slightly tart flavor is enjoyed as a refreshing beverage. Hibiscus is rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and flavonoids, making it beneficial for boosting the immune system and promoting skin health. It is also known for its ability to help lower blood pressure, improve digestion, and support heart health.

Fun fact: Hibiscus flowers are commonly used as a natural dye due to their rich red color, and in some cultures, they are used in cosmetics and hair care products for their nourishing properties.
