Roselle (ea)
Roselle is a descriptor primarily used for the edible red calyces of a tropical shrub belonging to the Malvaceae family. Roselle is a good source of anthocyanins, the colored pigments found within the calyces that provide antioxidant-like properties. The calyces also are a source of vitamin C to strengthen the immune system, calcium to protect bones and teeth, iron to develop the protein hemoglobin to transport oxygen in the bloodstream, and lower amounts of riboflavin, organic acids, and niacin.
Roselle has a sweet, subtly tangy flavor and tender texture well suited for both raw and cooked preparations. Fresh calyces can be tossed into salads, chopped into fruit bowls, stuffed with cheeses, or separated and sprinkled over appetizer platters with dips and baked cheeses such as brie. Roselle is also highly favored for its tart undertones, simmered with sugar to make jams, jellies, syrups, sauces, and chutney. The calyces are also infused into carbonated beverages, teas, and cocktails.
