Butterfly pea flower (Clitoria ternatea) is a beautiful deep indigo-blue color. It’s vibrant blooms impart a signature hue in food and drinks. Butterfly pea flower primarily grows and thrives in tropical areas and hot and humid conditions, but can be grown all over the world (HerbalAcademy.com, 2024). Some studies have suggested that butterfly pea flower may help ensure skin and hair health, promote weight loss, and reduce blood sugar levels (heathline.com, 2024) .
