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
