28 Aug 14, Jude D (Australia - sub-tropical climate): Unless you want the fruit whole just tear the leaves off then the bud is easy. A lot quicker and easier on the fingers. Also due to arthritis in my hands I don't have the strength to push them through any more.

27 Apr 14, Sangita (Australia - sub-tropical climate): Hello, I'm not much into making jams, but am always looking for various different plants to increase the nutritional value and variety in my cooking. Mary Williams, mentioned using Rosella buds in a curry. I'm just wondering where else Rosella can be used, apart from jams and jellies? Thanks..

26 Apr 14, Kevin Campbell (Australia - tropical climate): I make and sell Rosella products at local markets. As a requirement of the food standards of Australia/New Zealand, I have to include the nutritional values of Rosella 'fruit'. I have not been able to find this list anywhere. Can anyone help, please? (Before I pull ALL of my hair out) This is what is required as follows; Energy: kJ Protein: g Total fat: g Saturated fat: g Carbohydrate: g Sugars: g Sodium: mg

20 May 14, Richard (Australia - temperate climate): Try the USDA (US Dept of Ag) or FDA (US food & drug admin). I recall reading a PDF doc from them a few years back that listed all that info for various foods. It had caloric, fat, protein & mineral composition of a large number of food items. Rosella (or US name equivalent) may be amongst them.
