Sorrel's Nutritional Heritage

On a crisp winter morning in the Bronx, the warm, spicy aroma of sorrel wafts through the air, enticing locals to gather around the table and share a glass of this traditional Caribbean drink. According to some people, sorrel is a rich source of vitamin C, a nutrient that is often associated with a healthy immune system, and researchers have studied the antioxidant properties of hibiscus-based beverages like sorrel.

Sorrel's Vitamin C Content

Sorrel City's hand-bottled sorrel is made with fresh hibiscus calyxes, which are said to contain a significant amount of vitamin C, although the exact amount may vary depending on factors like the quality of the ingredients and the brewing process. While the nutritional profile of sorrel is not as well-studied as that of some other foods, researchers have explored the potential health benefits of consuming hibiscus-based beverages, which are often enjoyed during the holiday season, particularly on Christmas Day in Jamaican households.
