The butterfly pea flower contains color-changing properties. This experience occurs when it's mixed with citrus fruits. The science behind this involves pH levels that affect the flower's pigments.
Anthocyanins are the pigments that give the Butterfly Pea its blue color. When citrus is added to the mix, the pH level changes. This causes the anthocyanins to change color too. The result? The original blue color turns to purple or a Fuchsia.
