Prep notes
Fresh calyces, raw. This is the fleshy red calyx itself; for the brewed drink see the hibiscus tea (hibiscus-juice) card. The USDA row gives no fibre figure, so fibre stays blank. Plan your day of foods in Plate on the Thrive Nutrition App (https://thrivenutrition.app), €3.99 a month or €29 a year.
