Dried Hibiscus (Zobo)
Dried Hibiscus (Zobo)
One of COFOD’s leading exports, our dried hibiscus flowers are a vibrant, aromatic product prized for their health benefits and culinary versatility. Known locally as Zobo, hibiscus is widely consumed as a refreshing tea enjoyed hot or cold around the world.
Hibiscus tea is naturally rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, making it a popular choice for boosting immunity and overall wellness. Traditionally, hibiscus has been used as a natural diuretic and is associated with:
-
Supporting weight management
-
Lowering blood pressure
-
Promoting heart and liver health
Beyond tea, dried hibiscus is consumed whole, candied, or used as a dessert garnish in various cuisines. COFOD processes hibiscus into machine-cleaned whole flowers, cut sizes, and fine hibiscus powder, tailored to meet diverse international buyer needs.
