Roselle (Hibiscus Sabdariffa), known as Karkadeh, is a prized cash crop with a tart, cranberry-like flavour traditionally enjoyed as a hot or cold beverage. Sudan produces what is widely regarded as the world's finest hibiscus, in naturally limited quantities.
Grown mainly in Kordofan — with secondary cultivation in Darfur and the Blue Nile — our hibiscus is sun-dried to preserve its vibrant deep-red colour, then offered as whole calyx, loose flower sepals, or sifting (Nekhala) grade for beverages, natural food colouring, pharmaceuticals, and baking. Rich in vitamin C and antioxidants.
