Hibiscus

Natural Hibiscus

Hibiscus is one of the most beautiful, popular, and authentic herbs in Egypt, the Arab world, and Africa. It is extracted from the calyces of the Hibiscus sabdariffa flower, with its beautiful, bright crimson-red color that gives its beverage a luxurious, unparalleled ruby hue. Hibiscus was known in ancient Pharaonic Egypt and was the pharaohs' favorite drink — its seeds and calyces were found in pharaohs' tombs, testifying to its ancient use and great status. It is characterized by its unique refreshing sour taste, served hot in winter and cold in summer, making it in both cases a luxurious, refreshing, and indispensable medicinal drink. It contains the unique compounds anthocyanin and hibiscus acid, which give it its beautiful crimson color and exceptional medicinal properties.

⚠️ Warning: Always test on a small skin area before full use — the red color may temporarily stain very fair skin.

📅 Shelf Life

⚡ Al Mawaddah Tip: Whole calyces retain their anthocyanin, color, and flavor much longer than powder — store them in an airtight container completely away from direct light, which causes them to lose color and effectiveness.
