Butterfly Pea Extract Powder: The Magic of Color-Changing in a Superfood

Discover the most enchanting color magic in nature with butterfly pea extract powder. This isn't just a natural blue pigment; it's a fascinating ingredient that transforms from a deep, mesmerizing blue to vibrant shades of purple and pink based on pH levels. In this guide, we'll reveal the science behind this incredible effect and show you how you can use this magical powder to create stunning, delicious, and healthy drinks and foods.

The Magic of Color-Changing: How It Works

The stunning color-changing property of butterfly pea flowers comes from a high concentration of anthocyanins, a class of antioxidants. These pigments are natural pH indicators. When mixed with a neutral liquid like water, they create a rich blue hue. By adding an acidic ingredient, like a squeeze of lemon or a dash of citric acid, the anthocyanins react, shifting the color from blue to purple, and with more acid, to pink.

This fascinating scientific property makes butterfly pea extract powder a favorite among mixologists, bakers, and health enthusiasts looking to create visually stunning beverages and desserts.

Not All Powders Are Equal: Why Our Extract Powder is Superior

While butterfly pea flower has been consumed as an herbal tea and in other culinary applications for hundreds of years, the common powder or leaf form is neither suitable as a food color nor approved by FDA. Our butterfly pea extract powder is a highly concentrated and purified form that offers superior performance and quality.
