Hibiscus Fruit ...

Wiki says in general ...

... The fruit of the Hibiscus is a dry five-lobed capsule, containing several seeds in each lobe, which are released when the capsule splits open at maturity.

... The tea made from hibiscus flowers is known by many names in many countries around the world and is served both hot and cold. The beverage is well known for its color, tanginess and flavor. It is known as bissap in West Africa, karkadé in Egypt and Sudan, flor de Jamaica in Mexico, gudhal in India and gongura in Brazil. Some refer to it as roselle, a common name for the hibiscus flower.
The tea is popular as a natural diuretic; it contains vitamin C and minerals, and is used traditionally as a mild medicine.
