Have you ever seen a fruit like this? In China, locals are busy collecting a unique fruit called luo shen hua, also known as rosella fruit. To begin, the tip of each pod is carefully sliced off. Using a small stick, each pod is meticulously pushed out from the bottom, leaving the delicate, fleshy red fruit. This fruit has been cherished as part of local culture for generations. Once cleaned, they were briefly blanched in hot water, then layered with white sugar in a large clay pot and left to cure overnight. As it ferments, the petals soften and soak in the sweetness. Then, the sweet ruby red syrup is drained off and the flowers are spread onto bamboo mats to sun dry for several days while the outer layer begins to wrinkle and dry. The result is a delicious dried roselle. A beloved traditional snack bursting with natural flavor.
