I miss trader Joe’s dried chili mango and candied hibiscus, their entire dried fruit section really.

candied hibiscus? like the flower is candied?

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

I had no idea. that sounds delicious.

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

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 wildhibiscus.com/…/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.

Use theme like tea leaves and you get a tasty drink
