Dried hibiscus for a defined product and market

Dried hibiscus (Hibiscus sabdariffa) is commonly traded as dried calyces. Public references describe uses in zobo and other non-alcoholic drinks, herbal tea and food applications such as flavouring, colour, syrups, jellies and preserves. Agronex treats this as a development priority; sourcing and availability must be qualified per order.

A dedicated product-channel development priority. Sourcing enquiries are welcome; the proposed lot and availability are qualified for each order.
