BLUE RICE

avatar

We have two Clitoria Terbatea, or also known simply as blue ternatea, plants at home. It is famous to be rich in vitamin c. This vine has also been consumed for centuries as a brain booster, memory enhancer, anti-stress and a calmative agent.

Blue Ternatea is used as a natural food coloring. In traditional cooking, blue ternatea flowers are squeezed for their blue extract to naturally color desserts in blue and purple.

For today's breakfast, we have squeezed the blue extract to boil rice and make for an amazingly colorful blue rice.

Now, I have a colorful plate, with a vegetable salad side dish!

I believe it's a tropical plant.

You like me to send some to you? Hehehe! 😂😁

I would love that!
The heat would dry it out at your airport and then freeze during it's travels before arriving to me in the Midwest!😀

I think it is best to be sundried before shipping, to prevent molds.

Where will I send it?

Maybe because it grows mainly in the tropics. Thank you for appreciating, Lena @lenasveganliving. 😍

This is fascinating @ginbabida. Blue rice for breakfast really grabbed my attention! I wonder if it would colour other things blue. Like soap. I like using natural (food and spice) colourants in my soaps.

I think it would color other things, but I don't know how long would it last. 🤔
