In the mood for some mind-blowing flower edibility? Trader Joe’s has Dried Sweetened Hibiscus Flowers. As my fiance said, “These look like something I would kill in a video game.” Yes, they do look a little like squid creatures or something. But they taste like dried cranberries. Yum!
Hibiscus flowers contain antioxidants and are known to help lower cholesterol, treat hypertension and liver disorder, similar to red wine and tea.
Note: the ingredients in this product are hibiscus flower, sugar, and sulfur dioxide. I cannot guarantee the sugar refining process is vegan. I tried to get more info but came up empty. Though I did notice them being promoted in a vegan foods section on Flickr.
