Let yourself be seduced by the naturally blue colour and the sweet flavour of our butterfly pea flower
Originally from South-East Asia, the Butterfly Pea Flower is an ancestral Asian plant known for its medicinal properties and its colorful feature.
Traditionally offered as a welcome cocktail in Thailand with lemon and honey, it is also widely used as a natural colouring to make sublime culinary creations: blue rice, latte, pasta, pastry cooking, smoothie bowl, bread, pancakes..
The colourful feature of the butterfly pea flower
Its deep blue colour is the result of a natural pigment: anthocyanin, from the flavoid family. Anthocyanins are coloured molecules that change colour according to the surrounding pH. At an acid pH of less than 7, the anthocyanins turn pink-red, while at a neutral pH they turn blue, and yellow-green in a basic pH of more than 7.
Because of this, depending on the infusion you choose, the blue colour obtained will be able to change to one color as to another. (The other plants in the infusion and their PH are the reason of these slight changes)
The health benefits of the butterfly pea flowers
Without a doubt, the butterfly pea would not be considered a super food if it did not offer all these benefits!
Anti-stress and relaxing effect
The antioxidant and anti-stress properties of butterfly pea flowers can help reduce anxiety and stress. Its comforting flavour and its beautiful colour are well-known for soothing and relaxing.
Slowing down the ageing process of the skin
Antioxidants help prevent oxidative stress and fight free radicals that can cause certain diseases and accelerate aging. Collagen and skin elasticity are both enhanced by the presence of antioxidants. These effects help to restore and reduce skin wrinkles.
Improvement of cognitive functions
The butterfly pea flower has proved to improve learning and memory. Studies have shown that butterfly pea flower pigment increases the amount of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter with major neurological functions.
Then you will enjoy a delicious and magnificent blue infusion, full of benefits for your body and mind. Try our butterfly pea flowers to find serenity and peace.
