Dried Hibiscus Petals
Hibiscus Petals are made from the dried, ground sepals of the hibiscus plant. Often mistaken for flowers themselves, they are actually fleshy, trumpet-shaped, deep burgundy fruits that grow after hibiscus flowers bloom. They are really versatile and can be used for cooking as well as beauty products.
