  • We are so pleased that we stumbled across this plant. It was never a plant that we thought we could...or should...grow here on our homestead. But now we are hooked. The leaves and flowers are packed with flavors and chalk full of vitamins. It can be used in salads, sauces, jams, and teas. This is a must grow for anyone with a long enough warm growing season!

    The name in Mexico is JAMAICA!
    We uses for tacos, gelatin, iced water, iced cubes...😉👍
    Oh! Almost forget, you don't need a dehydrator, after the seeds are taken out, you let thrm dry in the sun.

    My mom grew up in the Caribbean and they use it to make sorrel which is a drink from Trinidad and Tobago. ❤️🇹🇹 Tastes like Christmas 😊

    Ours are blooming. I’m so excited to spend the next 2 weeks harvesting.

    • @4KidsandaFarm

      Jams and tea are definitely in our future. Our question is how do we save the seeds?

  • @adamusani5800
    @adamusani5800 3 місяці тому +1

    On yield issue, the yield per plant depends on many factors, among which are: spacing between plants, soil type, care given to the plants (fertilizing, pests/diseases management, water supply, etc), variety, time of the year, location, etc. A good presentation, thanks.

    We grew rosella plants when I was growing up and would make it into jam. Rosella jam is the jam I’ve ever had. 💕from Perth, Australia 🇦🇺

    • @4KidsandaFarm
      @4KidsandaFarm  Рік тому +2

      that is one of the things we want to make with rosella. we will have a few good harvest with our plants. do you have a recipe to share?

    • @ireneh3411
      @ireneh3411 Рік тому +4

      Happy to share. Even managed to get my mums recipe. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do 💕
      Rosella Jam
      Remove the seeds, just cover half of them with cold water and bring to the boil. Boil covered for full 1/2 hour. Strain. To the juice than add the calyxes (red leaves) after washing and draining them well. The leaves must be barely covered with juice. Bring to the boil and boil for 20 minutes. Add 1 cup of sugar for each cup of pulp. Boil quickly for 20 minutes or until it falls thickly from a spoon when tested. If over boil the colour darkens. Cool a little before pouring into warmed jars to store before using.

    Very nice video. I live in Florida just south of Orlando in Kissimmee, and I grew one plant. Now, it's in the hundreds. They say it can help with blood pressure and being type 2 diabetic I started growing a diabetic garden.

    The Roselle has been on my wish list, after watching this I think I will be making a trip to Green Acres nursery. I didn’t know how to harvest it now I know.

    Couple things, lil' miss Sunshine:
    1-Looks like your picking way too early. I've read they get more plump and best picking is about 3 weeks after blooming.
    2-someone from one of the southern university extensions picked five+ 5-gallon buckets from just _one_ plant in a season. Gotta be an IGFA all-tackle record!!

    We make Tea with the dried blooms/buds … the leaves n the dried flowers are eaten with rice… it’s cooked with yam, a pinch of salt n mashed together. It comes out red n so delicious. I don’t know why they are called hibiscus… yeah they are of the family but it’s Roselle.

      You can use the leaves as well, (crush the leaves or blend them but not too much(smooth) once that is done wash them +- 3 times and add that to your stew or soup. (I prefer to make tea from the leaves We (Namibians) harvest it all year around)

  • @nickijames4250
    @nickijames4250 Рік тому +3

    Is harvest done after blooms are fading away, or before they actually bloom? This is great information. I love teas and one of my favorites is a chamomile rose tea that has hibiscus in it.

    • @4KidsandaFarm
      @4KidsandaFarm  Рік тому +2

      really after the blooms are finished. We are so stoked to also growing our own tea!

    • @anitaanaya378
      @anitaanaya378 3 місяці тому

      I'm from South Texas, Hispanics sell it in tea form and people enjoy drinking it. When you chew the flower before making into tea, it is sour sweet. Didn't know the leaves were edible, so glad I saw your video. I have been an herbalist for the past ,40 years and always would buy hibiscus to make my tea. I'm 74 and so far stay way from om chemicals and resort to my natural supplements.

      7:46 The petal. You can make tea or juice with it. You can mixed it with ginger, mint, or pineaple juice. You can also eat the leaves like spinach in a fresh tomato stew or peanut butter stew.
