Roselle, Tomato and Fish Slice Soup

Why people make this soup

Nourilo spotted roselle being used in a soup in the newspaper, and since he’d been teaching a flower-tea class with roselle anyway, he gave it a try — and found it surprisingly appetizing and tasty. Roselle has a pleasant tartness and is traditionally associated with refreshing the mouth, helping with weight, and supporting healthy blood pressure, making it a summer favorite. Paired with equally tangy tomato in a quick fish-slice soup, it leaves the mouth fresh and watering — a dish he thinks well suited to those who are overweight or watching blood pressure and blood sugar.

Traditional use is not the same as clinical proof. Here is the strongest human research we found for each ingredient, limitations included.

  • Ginger · Meta-analysis, 23 studies · 2022
    Overall, acute and delayed nausea and vomiting did not differ significantly between ginger and control groups. A subgroup taking 1 g/day or less for over four days had less acute vomiting (OR 0.30).Limitation: Clinical heterogeneity between trials required subgroup analyses, and the authors state that sufficiently large, high-quality RCTs are still needed.PubMed 36501010 · 3 more ginger studies
