Red sorrel

Roselle, often known as red sorrel (Hibiscus sabdariffa), is a staple of conventional medicine. Red sorrel has been linked to reduced cholesterol and blood pressure in both animal and human research. Additionally, it could lower inflammatory indicators, insulin resistance, and body weight.

According to one study, the plant is a solid candidate for research into its potential as a herbal supplement for the treatment and prevention of cancer. But further human clinical studies are required. The presence of anthocyanins in red sorrel, together with other polyphenols and hibiscus acids, may be responsible for its health advantages. Cold or hot, roselle tea is a preferred beverage. In the Caribbean, sorrel juice, a popular holiday beverage, is made mostly from the plant's fresh and dried leaves.
