— the same family of pigments found in berries.

• Eye Health: Traditionally regarded in Ayurveda as supportive of the eyes.

• Cook rice or noodles in the strained infusion for a blue colour

Product FAQs
- Does it taste of anything?
Very mildly earthy and slightly woody. The colour is the main event.
Does the colour survive cooking?
Gentle heat, yes — rice and noodles work well. Long or high-heat cooking fades it.
Is the colour shift predictable?
Yes. Any acidic ingredient — lemon, lime, vinegar, hibiscus — turns it violet, then pink. The more acid, the
stronger the shift.
Is it certified organic?
Yes. This 30g pack is certified organic to the USDA standard.
Is it safe to drink every day?
It has a long history of everyday use as a tea and food colour across Asia. If you are pregnant, nursing or on
medication, check with your doctor before drinking it.
Impact
Goodfolks buys these flowers from smallholder home gardens in Sri Lanka under its Mandala Model, which
sets the grower’s price before the company’s margin — above the market rate. That turns a home-garden
flower into a fair income for the families who grow it. Read the full sourcing story on Goodfolks.
