Why does it change from blue to purple?

Butterfly Pea contains high levels of anthocyanins, which are pH-sensitive antioxidants. In its natural state, the powder is a deep cobalt blue. When you add an acidic ingredient—like a squeeze of lemon or lime—the pH level drops, causing a stunning chemical reaction that shifts the color to vibrant purple or pink.

How do I use the powder versus the petals?

The powder is much more versatile for baking and lattes as it mixes directly into batters, frostings, and milk (often called "Blue Matcha"). It provides a more uniform, intense pigment than steeping whole petals. Use approximately 1/2 to 1 teaspoon to turn smoothies, chia puddings, or rice a brilliant blue.

What are the health benefits?

Beyond its looks, Butterfly Pea is a staple in Ayurvedic wellness. It is rich in ternatins and flavonoids that support skin hydration and hair health from the inside out. Traditionally, it is also used as a "brain tonic" to support memory, focus, and a calm, balanced nervous system.

How should I store Butterfly Pea powder?

To preserve the vivid blue pigment and delicate antioxidants, store your powder in a sealed, airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. When stored correctly, it has a shelf life of up to 2 years, though we recommend using it within 12 months for the brightest color results.
