Both can be true.

That's actually not true, 'ground apple' is a common name for different sorts of tubers in a number of different languages, going back to the latin 'malum terrae'.

We think that of all morons in positions of power, because it's difficult to fathom how they got there otherwise. Despite all the proof to the contrary, we continue to think meritocracy is a thing. The prosperity gospel is one of the more overt expressions of that belief: if you're rich, it's obviously because you're just the best, smartest little cookie and you deserve it all. What other reasons could there possibly be?

Why thank you.

I've been saying the same thing the entire time

This is hibiscus sabdariffa

The picture you posted is of the wrong species, which I assume is why you were confused.

[–] cazssiew@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (7 children)

The calyx is red (and the petals are yellow/white) on hibiscus sabdariffa, which is the species they use commercially.

Suit yourself I guess, it's a common misunderstanding.

You can also eat the petals, but the stuff you'll find commercially are calices. I assume the petals are perhaps too fragile to process ? https://www.tyrantfarms.com/hibiscus-a-tasty-addition-to-your-edible-landscape-or-garden/#edible-parts-hibiscus-sabdariffa

Yup, those are calices, it's the bottom part of the flower, that holds the petals together.

It's actually made with the calyx rather than the petals, same as with hibiscus tea.
