Sorrel's Nutritional Profile

On a crisp winter morning in Brooklyn, as the snowflakes gently fall onto the bustling streets of Prospect Park, a warm and soothing cup of Sorrel City's hand-bottled Jamaican sorrel can be a comforting remedy. Made from the dried calyces of the Hibiscus sabdariffa plant, sorrel is a traditional Caribbean drink that not only tantalizes the taste buds but also provides a rich source of essential vitamins and minerals.

Nutritional Benefits

Sorrel is an excellent source of vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that plays a crucial role in boosting the immune system and fighting off free radicals. According to researchers, a single serving of sorrel can provide up to 30 percent of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C. Additionally, sorrel is rich in minerals such as potassium, calcium, and iron, making it an excellent addition to a healthy diet.

At Sorrel City, we take pride in our hand-bottled sorrel, carefully crafted with a ratio of 3:1 hibiscus to sugar, and optional rum or wine for those who prefer a bit of extra flavor. Our commitment to using only the finest ingredients and traditional Jamaican recipes ensures that every bottle of Sorrel City sorrel is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients.
