Hibiscus Calories And Nutritional Values
日本語
The hibiscus plant is an erect, many-branched shrub that grows up to four meters tall, containing several hundred species that are native to warm-temperate, subtropical and tropical regions throughout the world.
One of the many uses of Hibiscus is the herbal tea made as an infusion from sepals of the Roselle Flower "Hibiscus Sabdariffa".

Scientific Discoveries:
The antioxidant content of a number of popular beverages is compared and Hibiscus has surpassed Matcha "Powdered Green Tea Leaves" and taken the top place.
Let us take a look at a few; Water has zero antioxidants, as does Red Bull. At this scale Pepsi, Coke Cola, and Cow’s Milk get a 1; glass of White Wine 5, a cup of red tea 13, black tea 23, green tea 36, red wine 38, grape juice 39, a shot of espresso 40, a cup of coffee 47, matcha tea 100, and Hibiscus tea with 132 which so far in terms of antioxidant power is the healthiest thing to drink.

If we just drink water for 10 hours this is what happens to the antioxidant level within our bloodstream "graph 1". Our antioxidants get slowly used up throughout the day fighting off all those free radicals unless we replenish our antioxidant stores.
But if instead, we drink a single cup of hibiscus tea, within an hour we see a nice spike in the antioxidant level in our blood stream "graph 2", but then the effect disappears, unless you sip hibiscus or drink one of the others on top of the list, throughout the day.
Hibiscus Tea also was found to be as effective as a leading Blood Pressure drug without the potential side-effects, which include everything from lack of strength and man boobs, down to impotence. Keep in mind that drinking herbal tea like Hibiscus with a PH under 3, meaning as acidic as orange juice or coca cola, can cause dental erosion. To minimize the erosive potential we can use a straw, and after consuming acidic food or drinks, we should rinse our mouth with water to help neutralize the acid. Selection And Storage:Dried Hibiscus should be kept in a tightly sealed glass container in a cool, dark and dry place.
