Ooba in their words OOBA, produced by Hibix Corporation, the world’s first sparkling hibiscus beverage, is rich in the ancient healing power of hibiscus—a powerhouse of antioxidants. The ruby red color of this drink is all from the hibiscus extract.
Hibiscus is a colorful flower commonly used to make herbal tea and drinks throughout Egypt, Asia, Africa, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America, where it has long been lauded for its health properties. Hibiscus extract contains many of the same antioxidant compounds as red wine, including flavonoids, polyphenols and anthocyanins, which have been demonstrated to prevent the oxidation of LDL or “bad” cholesterol, and positively affect hypertension (High Blood Pressure).
OOBA’s all-natural proprietary hibiscus extract—made using hibiscus Sabdariffa—is hand harvested from around the world and shipped to California, where it is made into a rich, ruby red extract. The extract is blended with pure water, sweetened, and then gently carbonated.
OOBA is available is six delicious flavors – Hibiscus, Orange, Lime, Blackberry, Vanilla, and Pineapple. All are made with 100% All Natural ingredients such a purified water, high quality hibiscus extract, pure cane sugar, and natural flavor essences. (No high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavor or color.)
Ooba in my words… I was excited to try Ooba because you don’t hear a whole lot about new beverage brands. It seems like the brands out there pretty much dominate the market, and I love ‘the little guy’ most of the time. I received 3 types of Ooba to try – original, pineapple and blackberry. My favorite was blackberry, which was my boyfriends favorite also. Neither of us cared for the original flavor, but the day this product arrived I was babysitting my niece, and I had her try all 3 flavors and the original flavor was her favorite! It’s hard to describe the beverages as a whole, they fizz but don’t have the overpowering carbonation of soda’s. They seem ‘softer’ than sodas, yet don’t remind me of a juice at all. I think Ooba is something that you just have to try to understand.
