Health Benefits of Butterfly Pea Powder | Hefei Dielegance Biotechnology Co., Ltd.
For people living in the Asian part of the globe, butterfly pea powder is not a new phenomenon, in-fact, it is regularly used as a natural food coloring agent, cosmetic additive, and even as a remedy. Others, however, are not so much familiar with the flower. So, what should you as a real epicure know about this product?
Butterfly pea powder is a natural purple and blue pigment used in drink and food production. The powder itself is made of dried Butterfly Pea flowers, scientifically known as Clitoria ternatea and commonly known as Asian pigeonwings, blue pea, bluebellvine, cordofan pea and Darwin pea. In Southeast Asia people use these flowers to make tea also known as blue matcha. Fresh blue flowers are gently collected, their impurities are removed, and then they’re sun-dried and crushed into powder. Blue butterfly pea powder does not contain calories, and its dark blue color comes from naturally present anthocyanins, which not only produce a beautiful pigment but also act as antioxidants. In Thailand, they make a blue drink commonly known as dok anchan – a wonderful brain boosting herb native to tropical equatorial Asia.
People from Eastern Malaysia add a few buds of this flower while cooking white rice to achieve a bluish tinge; it is unique, beneficial and looks very attractive on the plate.
