Rosella is also know as the fruit of a hibiscus flower. Taking off the red petals of the fruit/flower is a bit laborious, but it is surely worth it. The jam you can make from this is delicious, fresh and a bit tangy. At the Food Forest Kitchen Restaurant @Ecologicthailand we will serve it with breakfast when it is in season.
