Thanks to @shaelleetienne, we got a bunch of sorrel planted in one of our regenerative food systems right in time for the rain. Can’t wait to have these again 🤤🌺 The calyxes from the flowers can be eaten fresh or in salads. Due to their high pectin content, they’re often made into a sauce that can be used as topping for puddings, cakes, and ice cream. The stewed calyxes are used to make jams, marmalades, relishes, and chutneys. In Mexico and Central American countries, a cooling beverage is made from the calyxes.in Africa and Jamaica, the roselle calyxes are boiled with ginger and then served ice cold with rum as a drink. Dried calyxes are consumed as an herbal tea. In tropical Africa, the stewed calyxes are often served with mashed peanuts as a side dish. The green, acidic-tasting leaves can be eaten raw in salads or cooked as a spinach.the seeds also contain oil that can be used for human consumption. As for nutrition, they’re high in vitamin C and anthocyanins. #growninhaiti #sorrel #roselle #haiti #ayiti #hibiscussabdariffa #regenerativefoodsystem #plantsomething #agroforestry #abundance #laboroflove #teatime https://www.instagram.com/p/CibJaX7uBdJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
