about the spice

Native to the tropical Asian countries and originally from the Ternate islands in Indonesia, butterfly pea is an important part of religious as well as culinary culture of the local people. The plant belongs to the same family as legumes and is striking for its blue flowers. The young flowers are mildly sweet and the dried ones are used to add the distinct blue colour to any dish.
