Butterfly Pea Powder - Health Benefits And How To Use It?

What Is Butterfly Pea Powder?

Sometimes called "blue matcha," our Butterfly Pea Flower powder comes from selected Natural Butterfly Pea Flower as raw material grown in tropical climates. Handpicked and milled into a fine powder just for your pleasure!

The bright blue petals from the flowers of the butterfly pea plant have been used as an ingredient in herbal tea drinks throughout the region for centuries and used in cooking.

The blue flower imparts its blue colour when steeped in warm or hot water, leading it to be used as a dye and adding colour to various traditional dishes.

It is one of the best natural blue pigments for beverages and food. The taste of butterfly pea is a bit earthy, like unsweetened green tea.
