What Is Butterfly Pea Powder?

Sourced from the butterfly pea flower (a plant native to Southeast Asia), this powder is made by drying and grinding the petals into a fine, natural blue powder. Its brilliant hue comes from anthocyanins—plant-based antioxidants that offer both vibrant colour and health benefits.

Used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine and Thai herbal teas, butterfly pea is now gaining worldwide popularity as a colourful and calming health booster.
