How we went from ZERO to 100lbs of Roselle(Hibiscus Sabdariffa)
Roselle Hibiscus is extremely versatile. It's ornamental and looks beautiful in flower arrangements. The leaves, stems, flower, and calyxes are all edible and provide a nutritious, fruity flavor. It's also a medicinal plant with tons of benefits.
We're a small family farm in the Florida Panhandle. After relocating back home from the Middle East we wanted to build up the most self- sufficient lifestyle possible with our kids, in order to grow as much of our own food as possible. Through raising livestock, tending to a garden, preserving food through canning and fermenting, learning about local fauna for medicinals and wild edibles, we are hoping to encourage others to do as much as possible for themselves through re-learning some of the forgotten "old" skills.

I planted this year a roselle. I got a nice harvest from it. I enjoyed making a tea from it. I only had one plant. But looking forward, I think I will grow more to be able to have enough to the jam. Thank you for sharing.
Its so good. I'm so glad I gave it a try
I live in 8b northwest Florida near Alabama line. I like the leaves of roselle I recently discovered. I eat them raw, love the tart taste. I also add some to my lemon grass tea, I leave the stem on and dunk it in with my lemongrass wreath that I make from my lemon grass in garden. I like all tea just plain, I love the tart taste of roselle. I eat the leaf except not the stem although I did chew on it then tossed in compost bin. I put some in an okra casserole that I made recently and that was good too. I did recent' homestead update at beginning of the month, part was showing my roselle this year doing so good. I hope to have a good harvest. Last year I only planted two up my my house that didn't make much and early frost got them. This year I'm hoping for a large harvest so I can put some of the calyxes up and maybe try making wine from some of them. My mouth dropped open when you said how many pounds you got last year! I sure hope mine make as good as yours did!
Its such an amazing plant. You can also harvest the flowers, stuff and fry them
Thank you so much for this video! I’m also in Florida and have never heard of this but definitely need to source some it sounds amazing!!
It's an amazing plant!
I got my seeds from Hoss Tools
@@HiddenOaksHomestead Ohh perfect I love Hoss Tools such a great company going to look now!! Again thank you 😊
Was so nice to meet you at the Florida meetup thingy this weekend. I had never heard of Roselle until a couple of weeks ago when I saw a couple of videos from channels I follow. YT has opened up a whole new world for us folks here in Mississippi. lol
I'm so glad you made it out!
Thanks for the video. Good info. Nicole..you don't need nothing for your akin..you have awesome skin. Take care
Trying to keep it that way 😁
Nice job! I love roselle. I grew it last year but the calyxes did not mature enough. This year I grew cranberry hibiscus... and much more. Lol So great meeting you at the GC meet up and so many more. 🌱🤗
I'm so glad you made it out
Sounds awesome!! 💜
It's an amazing plant
Have you tried overwinter one? It says zone 8 to 11... maybe cut one back and put a cover on it for winter 🤔
They grow so fast, it doesnt make sense to overwinter
Roselle is a great plant. I've been enjoying all of its parts in every way I can. I eat the leaves, make tea, juice, wine salad dressing and jam. I live in Vietnam so it grows year round.
Thanks for sharing
I'm in central Mississippi and have some growing they look good but when will they flower it's end of September now
I'm in 8b and mine just started flowering. It takes a while. I sowed mine out beginning of May.
The calyx forms after the flower os spent
I've never even heard of it. I'm in zone 9 in Florida.
You can definitely grow it
Thanks you for this video, I never heard of this. I'm going to have Mike plant some of this. Will it grow in Texas? Blessings, Rochelle
It will! I got my seeds from Hoss Tools
I missed the Homesteaders event at the fair grounds this weekend.
I’m in your area. Will you be hosting any canning classes? Newbie here, and I’m lost.
I'm considering hosting canning, fermenting and processing classses

That would be wonderful!
I've several people that would be interested.
I cannot find seeds to grow. Any suggestions?
For Roselle? Oir friends at @hosstools.com sell them.
I see you were boiling the seed pods. What did you do with them? Did you harvest seeds for next year?
I boiled them to get the pectin released for jam
Where to buy Hibiscus seeds? I’m here in Texas.
I got mine from Hoss Tools
@@HiddenOaksHomestead Thank you!
What does roselle taste like? Is the tea refreshing in the summer?
Similar to cranberry or tart raspberry
How did you roast the seed pods?
Covered in olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, then into the oven for 30 min at 400
Could you please give me the exact Latin name?
Hibiscus sabdariffa
Is Roselle a Perineal or an Annual?
It can be a perennial in zone 9 and 10. It will not tolerate frost
Where did you get your seeds?
