candied hibiscus? like the flower is candied?

[–] titter@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (24 children)

Hibiscus flowers are full of vitamin c, and taste like cranberries!

I had no idea. that sounds delicious.

the flower petals are so thin, how thick is the candy coating?

[–] titter@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Typically i see them served in syrup and not coated in candy, and somehow they are so much thicker a petal than you imagine. I assume theyre using a specific type of hibiscus and not just the kind everyone grows for yard decor. More of a yucca flower texture honestly.

They may have actual candied ones to i didn't even bother looking it up yet, of course.

These are what i normally see https://www.wildhibiscus.com/collections/retail/products/wild-hibiscus-flowers-in-syrup

that is fascinating, thank you for sharing it.

I actually grew up with hibiscus around my house my whole childhood but never knew you could eat them.

which is nuts, because I feel like I try to eat everything else in my yard as a kid.

those look pretty good.
