        I had no idea. that sounds delicious.

        the flower petals are so thin, how thick is the candy coating?

          Typically i see them served in syrup and not coated in candy, and somehow they are so much thicker a petal than you imagine. I assume theyre using a specific type of hibiscus and not just the kind everyone grows for yard decor. More of a yucca flower texture honestly.

          They may have actual candied ones to i didn’t even bother looking it up yet, of course.

          These are what i normally see https://www.wildhibiscus.com/collections/retail/products/wild-hibiscus-flowers-in-syrup

            that is fascinating, thank you for sharing it.

            I actually grew up with hibiscus around my house my whole childhood but never knew you could eat them.

            which is nuts, because I feel like I try to eat everything else in my yard as a kid.

            those look pretty good.
