Roselle! I finally found this at the Supermarket after so many many years, it is organic and a product of Singapore. When I was 12 years old, my dad brought back a big bag of roselle fruit which was given to him by his friend and I was given the task to make this drink for the whole family. It was like Ribena to me and I like it. Check out more about: Roselle Plant.

Oh, no need to cut that roselle? Never seen this before.
ReplyDeleteHi Veggie Bun,
ReplyDeleteNo need to cut the roselle fruit. Very rare, it was a big surprise to find it at Fairprice, 200g for $2.50.
It was only lately, I found out the name of this at the Zoo ( Tropical Plant Section). I didn't see these fruit for few decades already.
Cheers :)
you can make into pickles and also jam
ReplyDeletehi Crystal!! I found these at sentosa too!! It's at the herb garden near the merlion...i think it was around 6 dollars for a small packet- looks like Fairprice has a better deal! Tried to bring it back to Australia but it got confiscated- very silly of me..!! The guy who sold it to me said that it's good for losing weight... :P
ReplyDeleteHi Crystal, can I check with you if these Roselle flowers/ fruit is still commonly available in FairPrice and if so, which FairPrice branch did you get it from?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
