Hibiscus flowers from Chad — Bissap, Karkadé

Hibiscus sabdariffa L., commonly called Bissap in West Africa or Karkadé in North Africa and the Middle East, is a plant grown in tropical and subtropical zones. It is the fleshy calyces — the epicalyces surrounding the flower — that are harvested at maturity and then dried for industrial use.

Their chemical composition is well documented scientifically: rich in anthocyanins (mainly delphinidin-3-glucoside and cyanidin-3-glucoside) responsible for their intense burgundy-red colour, as well as hibiscic acid, citric acid, vitamin C and antioxidant polyphenols. Crude protein content is around 0.18–0.31% and fibre content 1.17%. Export moisture is kept at ≤ 12% (controlled solar drying).

TchadAgriSourcing selects calyces at optimal maturity in Chad and dries them under controlled protocols that preserve their anthocyanin content and vivid colour. Every batch is inspected on site before shipping. COA provided with every order.
