 This popular ingredient gives a whole new meaning to flower power.

Hibiscus

Everyone is looking for bigger, bolder flavors, and hibiscus delivers: The electric pink flower is boldly floral and unmistakably tangy, and we've all become obsessed."The taste is a showstopper-like the fabulous dress at a party everyone notices," says Suzy Badaracco, president of food trend forecaster Culinary Tides, Inc. While the tart, citrusy flowers have been a popular ingredient in tea and cocktails for ages, Google searches for hibiscus drinks have doubled in the past year, and chefs are adding the flavor to everything from appetizers to desserts: Hibiscus mentions on restaurant menus have risen 24 percent over the past few years. You'll also find it all over the grocery store-in yogurt, goat cheese, sparkling water and sorbet, to name a few. Bonus: It's full of vitamin C and other antioxidants. Taste it for yourself in one of these pretty pink recipes.
