minus-squarecazssiew@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoI miss trader Joe’s dried chili mango and candied hibiscus, their entire dried fruit section really.
minus-squareVaryk@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agocandied hibiscus? like the flower is candied?
minus-squaretitter@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoHibiscus flowers are full of vitamin c, and taste like cranberries!
minus-squareVaryk@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-21 month agoI had no idea. that sounds delicious. the flower petals are so thin, how thick is the candy coating?
minus-squarecazssiew@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoIt’s actually made with the calyx rather than the petals, same as with hibiscus tea.
minus-squareVaryk@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoare you sure? a lot of the ones I looked up look like they dehydrate the petals. the recipes call for the flower rather than the calyx.
minus-squarecazssiew@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoYup, those are calices, it’s the bottom part of the flower, that holds the petals together.
minus-squareVaryk@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoI thought the calyx was the green part that holds the flower by its base. like this? and the flavor they’re talking about sounds like hibiscus petals, which are supposed to be citrusy.
minus-squarecazssiew@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-21 month agoYou can also eat the petals, but the stuff you’ll find commercially are calices. I assume the petals are perhaps too fragile to process ? https://www.tyrantfarms.com/hibiscus-a-tasty-addition-to-your-edible-landscape-or-garden/#edible-parts-hibiscus-sabdariffa
