Hibiscus sabdariffa L.
Cultivated in the pristine, sun-drenched climate of Upper Egypt near Aswan, Egyptian Hibiscus (Karkadeh) is prized internationally for its deep purple-ruby color, high titratable acidity, and rich antioxidant profile. Hand-harvested and dried in the dry desert air, it yields an intensely vibrant ruby red infusion with an unmistakable tart flavor.
Industrial Applications:
Fruit tea blends, refreshing ready-to-drink functional beverages (Karkadeh), natural red food coloring, syrups, cosmetic extracts.
