Originally from Southeast Asia and imported to Africa in the 19th century, Hibiscus Sabdariffa is mainly used to prepare Karkadé. This perennial plant has adapted very well to the African tropical climate since it requires sun and heat to grow. It was African tribes who started consuming this red-flowered hibiscus in the form of an infusion, and it later spread worldwide. The name "karkadé" comes from Egypt, but this infusion has many other names. In Senegal, it is called "bissap," in Mexico "flor de Jamaica," in Martinique and Guadeloupe "Groseille pays," or simply "Groseille." Bissap is consumed all over the world for its numerous benefits and therapeutic virtues, and it has even become the national drink in Egypt. It can be drunk hot or cold, and its fruity and slightly acidic taste will delight your taste buds!
