The “Metti un fiore” butterfly pea grows in our production greenhouses together with 14 other varieties of edible flowers and is a 100% Italian product. It is dehydrated immediately after harvesting at a temperature below 30 ° which allows to maintain the color and characteristics of the flower.
Dehydrated flowers are naturally rich in anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants that release an intense royal blue color, in contact with liquid substances with a basic pH, and a seductive shade of purple, in contact with substances with an acid pH.
This flower is completely odorless and tasteless and therefore suitable for many uses in the kitchen as a natural dye.
