What is Butterfly Pea Powder?

Butterfly Pea Powder is a natural blue powder produced from the dried flowers of Clitoria ternatea. Rich in naturally occurring anthocyanins, especially ternatins, it is widely used as a plant-based food coloring and functional ingredient. Its unique characteristic is the ability to change color from blue to purple when mixed with acidic ingredients such as lemon juice, making it a popular choice for beverages and creative food applications.
