Butterfly Pea Extract

Butterfly Pea Extract – botanical raw material for food supplements

Butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea) is a climbing plant from Southeast Asia with deep blue flowers. The flower extract gives an intense blue colour that turns purple when the pH drops, for example when lemon juice is added. This makes it popular for colour-changing drinks and colourful food products.
