It also has roots in other countries with peculiar  names: it is called wongo in Gambia, Rosella fruit in Australia, Belchanda in Nepal, Bissap in Senegal, Benin,Guinea Mali, Burkina Faso and Ghana. Coming back to home, it is referred to as zoborodo in Northern Nigeria.

So what exactly is Zobo? It is actually dried hibiscus beverage scientifically referred to as hibiscus sabdariffa. It is mostly planted in West Africa. Zobo has amazing health benefits that includes:

zobo

1. It helps with blood regulation

2. It serves as an antioxidant putting high blood pressure in check

3. It helps with weight loss

4. It has vital nutrients needed by the body system

5. It is an ideal thirst quencher any day, anytime

How to make zobo?

Ingredients
-2 derica* cups of dry Zobo leaves
-1glove of garlic
-1 big piece of ginger
-1 big very ripe pineapple
-Enough water
-Sliced citrus fruits like orange, lemon, lime for garnishing

2. Add pineapples and pour enough water to cover the contents of the pot

3. Start cooking at medium to high heat and let it boil for 5 minutes

4. Add the ginger and garlic with more water and boil for at least 30minutes to make the zobo leaves soft and pineapples tender.
