It's no secret the butterfly pea flower (clitoria ternatea) or "dok anchan" plays a role in the Thai culinary world. At home on one of our permaculture farms in Thailand, we've always picked the wild-growing flowers and tossed a few fresh petals into the rice cooker to make blue rice to complement a savory orange-yellowish young papaya and garlic stir-fry. Imagine how satisfying the flavors of coconut milk drizzled over blue sweet sticky rice and succulent mango matches the eye-popping colors of this popular dessert. Long used as a food and beverage ingredient, butterfly pea flower has also been used to promote hair growth. It's not uncommon for Thai mothers to paint their babies', or even their own, eyebrows with fresh bright blue petals to thicken them. Full of free radical fighting and anti-inflammatory properties, it's the anthocyanins, or pigments that give the flower its deep blue/purple color, as well as support skin, hair, and eye health. You can now stay healthy and have fun experimenting with this naturally grown and organic food colorant that dissolves completely without leaving plant particles behind.
