Food Grade Natural Organic Blue Butterfly Pea Flower Powder
Product Description
Butterfly Pea Flower Extract (Natural Blue Pigment) is a premium botanical colorant derived from the vibrant petals of Clitoria ternatea. Renowned for its brilliant "Royal Blue" hue and fascinating pH-sensitive color-changing properties, it creates a stunning visual experience by shifting from deep blue to purple and pink upon the addition of acidic ingredients. This high-performance extract offers exceptional water solubility and superior thermal stability compared to other natural blues. As a 100% Clean Label and vegan-friendly ingredient, it serves as the ultimate natural alternative to synthetic dyes for innovative beverages, gourmet confectionery, and premium cosmetic formulations.
