Butterfly Pea Powder

Butterfly pea powder is a natural blue plant-based ingredient made from the dried flowers of Clitoria ternatea. Yangge Biotech supply high quality Butterfly Pea Powder manufactured under strict quality control standards to ensure excellent color, purity, and stability for food, beverage, dietary supplement, and cosmetic applications. Our butterfly pea powder is carefully processed to preserve its naturally occurring anthocyanins, making it an ideal natural coloring ingredient.

Does Butterfly Pea Powder Have Caffeine?

No. Butterfly pea powder is naturally caffeine-free. It does not contain caffeine because it is produced from the flowers of the butterfly pea plant rather than tea leaves such as green tea, black tea, or coffee beans.

Because it is caffeine-free, butterfly pea powder is suitable for consumers looking for a relaxing herbal beverage or a natural blue food color without the stimulating effects of caffeine. It can be enjoyed throughout the day and is commonly used in herbal teas, smoothies, juices, cocktails, desserts, bakery products, confectionery, dairy products, and dietary supplements.
