At Goodfolks, we’re thrilled to introduce butterfly pea—a unique, vibrant superfood—in partnership with The Milk & Honey Café. Butterfly pea flower, known for its striking blue hue, has long been revered in Ayurveda for its healing properties. Traditionally used as a staple herb, this powerhouse ingredient has recently surged in popularity. However, many people still use it in limited ways. That’s where we, alongside Milk & Honey Café, come in. By launching an innovative range of butterfly pea-infused dishes and drinks, we’re showcasing its potential and inviting audiences near and far to experience this versatile super-food in new, delightful ways.
Unveiling the Menu: Butterfly Pea, Re-imagined
The Milk & Honey Café, a beloved garden café in Colombo, is known for its wholesome, fresh menu filled with rice bowls, wraps, noodles, and melts. Operating alongside their bookstore, the café has long been a must-visit for travellers and locals alike, offering a cozy atmosphere and freshly baked goodies, including options for vegan and gluten-free diets.
Our collaboration menu transforms butterfly pea into a range of fantastic, nourishing options:
- Blue Pea & Rosemary Latte: A warming twist on the classic latte, infused with earthy rosemary.
- Blue Pea & Almond Shortbread: A deliciously crisp treat that brings out the subtle flavors of almond.
- Blue Pea Dirty Latte: For coffee lovers, a shot of espresso adds depth to the herbal blend.
- Blue Pea & Strawberry Smoothie: Bright, refreshing, and antioxidant-rich.
- Blue Pea & Lemon Cake: A soft, citrus-y dessert that perfectly complements butterfly pea’s gentle flavor.
- Blue Pea Smoothie Bowl: Topped with fresh fruits and seeds, it’s as visually stunning as it is nutritious.
- Toasted Brioche with Ricotta Cream & Blueberry and Blue Pea Compote: This savoury-sweet creation is a textural delight.
Each recipe was crafted to showcase butterfly pea’s potential as an ingredient that not only adds a pop of colour but also enhances the nutritional profile of every dish. The café’s offerings align with their ethos of fresh, wholesome eating, creating a harmony that allows visitors to savour healthier choices in a delightful setting.
The Healing Heritage of Butterfly Pea
Butterfly pea flower, or Clitoria ternatea, has been used in Ayurvedic practices for centuries as a natural way to support memory, improve skin health, and provide a gentle sense of calm. Its ‘adaptogenic’ properties help balance stress levels, and its high concentration of antioxidants fights inflammation and boosts immunity. By bringing butterfly pea to an international audience, we aim to reconnect people with the ancient practices that have long valued its medicinal qualities.
This collaboration allows Goodfolks to highlight butterfly pea’s potential as more than a food trend—it’s a nutrient-dense ingredient that brings diverse benefits, helping consumers incorporate wellness into their diets in exciting new ways.
