FAQs
Butterfly Pea (Clitoria ternatea) is a tropical climbing plant whose dried flowers are ground into butterfly pea powder. Native to Southeast Asia, it is especially widespread in Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia. The most valued part of the plant is its flower: the vivid blue petals have been part of local gastronomy and traditional Asian practices for centuries.
Butterfly Pea is valued not only for its striking appearance, but also for its natural property where the anthocyanins in the petals trigger color changes during use: in neutral or alkaline conditions it displays vibrant blue, while in acidic conditions (such as with lemon juice) it shifts to deep purple or pink hues.
Butterfly Pea flower powder owes its popularity in modern gastronomy to the way it combines:
- a vivid, natural color experience
- a neutral-tasting, calorie- and additive-free composition
- the playful visual effect of its color-changing properties
It dissolves easily in water, and thanks to its neutral taste, it can be widely used in beverages, desserts, baked goods, and even creative main dishes. As a dietary supplement, it not only adds color but also supports a varied and visually appealing diet built on natural ingredients.
Butterfly Pea Powder has a very mild, subtly earthy flavour with light floral notes. At typical colouring amounts, it doesnβt compete with the other flavours in your recipe β itβs used primarily for its colour, not its taste.
The vibrant blue colour comes from natural plant pigments called anthocyanins. When an acidic ingredient β like lemon juice, lime juice, or vinegar β is added, the pH shift causes the colour to move from blue towards purple, and with more acid, towards pink.
Start with a small amount (around ΒΌβΒ½ teaspoon per cup of liquid) and adjust to your desired shade β the more powder you add, the deeper and more vivid the blue becomes.

I was looking for a natural blue food dye and I'm happy to found this it does a really good job. I use it as a powder for sprinkle the meringues and also as a tea for poaching pear. It has a purpleish colour nuance but that's OK for me.
