There is no secret that I’m in love
with anything natural and good especially when words like “rich source
of antioxidants,” “health benefits,” etc pop up. Who doesn’t??

When I heard from the grapevine that the Clitoria ternatae whose common name is
blue pea flower for centuries have been used in traditional ayurvedic medicine
and is supposedly good for improving eyesight, the blind as a bat in me just have to give this plant a
second glance!

To begin, I love the vivid intensity of these lovely blue flowers and the added bonus is there are lots of them taking refuge all over the fence.
For a long time the natural dye in the flowers have been used for cooking. The flowers can also be dipped in batter and deep fried. You can even make tea out of them. They can also be added to a bowl of salad. Look at how beautiful they look!
Do bear in mind that if these beautiful flowers are to be consumed, it is best that they be grown without the use of pesticides or chemicals.
Why eat something supposedly good with added benefits when in fact it is detrimental to your well being. If you're growing your own, do it the organic way.
