I have never used this type of hibiscus. I have read that not all hibiscus are edible, and some may cause you to get sick. I am currently growing a variety called roselle hibiscus. The whole plant is edible and leaves have a sour/acidic taste to them along with the calyx. It is a very different looking plant, so I wouldn't recommend treating all hibiscus the same.

[@kabitamurmu4098]

Red coloured hibiscus is used for medicinal purposes ,whereas there ar many more different types of hibiscus which is not edible

[@ashwoo4953]

What you have is also known as sorrel and goes by many names, but is not related plant to the hibiscus plant in the video. They have similar benefits as well. I use the same flower type you have to make a Jamaican drink, Sorrel for the holidays. Cheers

My grandmother has about 6 of these plants. She planted them when I was born and at my age (24) they’re almost tree looking. We used to feed them to our Iguanas and turtles, but never knew we could eat them or even make tea out of them. Really good to know!!!

[@ragenbostrom8075]

Hibiscus tea is super good for blood pressure and heart health. Also high in vitamin C

This is not the species used for Roselle, called Flor de Jamaica, or Karkadé. One should use sabdirifa blossoms.

[@abc_cba]

This is not the hibiscus one brews for tea.
The Hibiscus tea we hear about are the sepals of the Roselle (Sabdariffa flower) ,they're the one with blood pressure regulating, cholesterol lowering and anti-cancer properties.

The only hibiscus I know of to have medicinal value is Hibiscus sabdariffa...I'm not sure that other hibiscus species are edible or not. But traditionally sabdariffa is the species used in Herbalism and you use the calyx or the closed flower. I'm finishing a 700hr herbal program taught by herbalist who own herb stores and have done clinical work for years out of Arizona.

[@KyrenaH]

Most hibiscus plants are edible.

[@BakingRecipesManisha]

My tortoises eat all varieties of hibiscus specially this one is edible but I think for our taste it'll be a little bit bitter. So I prefer Rosella hibiscus. Also her method does not looks good for consuming but excellent for hair treatment, I would add honey.

[@TsukabuNosoratori2]

I love rosehip and hibiscus tea personally. We have a hibiscus fplant my dad gave to my mom before he passed, and now to make our own rosehip and hibiscus tea we just need rosehips! This video was definitely helpful and thanks for sharing.

I have the Southern Althea plant form the Hibiscus family: Hibiscus syriacus The article I read indicated it was safe to make a tea. But do you know if it has the same healthy 'restorative' properties? Still doing research, but hoping someone actually knows something first hand. .

[@thepincushionman7063]

@@HiWayLady49 did you find out?

[@MrTimjwilson]

Or Hibiscus elatus or H. tiliaceus or H. coccineus as well as many others. As far as I know it is the calyx of the flower which is to be used in tea, although there is no harm in using the petals.

[@manelamboy2431]

Hi, I was told that a person died from drinking Hibiscus flower tea. Is this possible? What kind of flower is good, what flower is dangerous? Check out "Hibiscus leaf and flower as per ayurveda" by Hebbar. This person claims that only the white and red are useful. Please research before drinking.

[@shirlebug]

Can anyone tell me that I can use different colors on the hibiscus plant. The one I have is more purpleish

[@donabellahardeneravlogs790]

Me I make hibiscus tea and jam from different colors of hibiscus. They are all safe to eat, however not recommended for pregnant women. It may cause abortion. Please see my vlog about making hibiscus tea and hibiscus jam. They have details based on my research Ma'am. Thanks!

Hibiscus tea does not come from hibiscus petals. It comes from the calyces of Hibiscus sabdariffa plants ala Roselle.

[@theaddictedprepper902]

Thanks for posting this information! You are correct.

[@beeflower1]

I grew some of the Roselle from seed last year in my garden in Georgia. They made calyces that I could harvest at the end of the season, but it was so much trouble that I just bought the stuff in bulk this year.

[@Accune]

Thanks for the info.I was debating on if I should grow them.

Bitter is actually very healthy for your gut!

[@bettyrussell5674]

Did you mean eight flowers or eight petals? Eight flowers does not equal 2 tablespoons 1:18

The tablespoon measurement is likely for dried hibiscus. And she said 8 FLOWERS, not petals.
