Bissap – Sorel Leaves is a
vibrant and tangy ingredient used in Côte d’Ivoire to make a refreshing drink
known as bissap juice. These dried leaves are steeped to create a bright red
beverage, often sweetened and served chilled. Bissap is not only a delicious
thirst-quencher but also holds cultural significance as a staple at social
gatherings and celebrations. Rich in antioxidants and Vitamin C, bissap is
cherished for both its health benefits and its role in traditional Ivorian
hospitality.
