Butterfly pea flowers are the lively blossoms of Clitoria ternatea, a plant belonging to Southeast Asia and mostly cultivated in Thailand. The vibrant blue flowers take their name from the sizes and shapes of the blooms. While they've been used medicinally for centuries, Butterfly pea flowers have gained popularity in more recent times. They're used in baking, desserts, healthy smoothies, mixed drinks, and teas. 

Butterfly pea flowers are also known to contain vitamin A and C which help promote healthy vision and skin.  They also contain potassium, zinc, and iron. These minerals and healthy antioxidants have been shown to help combat free radical damage, inflammation, and cardiovascular diseases.
