More than three centuries ago the Roselle plant (Hibiscus sabdariffa
L) was introduced into Malaysia from India. This pretty plant with dark
red flowers, and unique healing powers, very quickly adapted to the
fertile soil and tropical climate, and now grows wild throughout the
country. It is known by different local names across peninsular
Malaysia: Asam Paya; Asam Kumbang or Asam Susur.
The red Roselle flower has a high vitamin content, containing vitamin
C, fruit acids, calcium, iron, potassium as well as antosianin, and has
long been used in traditional medicine and local delicacies. It is
known to benefit the kidney system, lower blood-sugar levels, and
have diuretic and anti-inflammatory properties. It forms natural
collagen and assists in vitamin absorption thus improving
complexion, and assisting with anti-aging.
