HI DOES THE NUTRIENTS OF THE FLOWER BECOME LESS AFTER DRYING?
Hi! Thank you for that question. Honestly, I do not have an answer ready, so I did some research. An article from cedarmountainherbs.com by Suzzane Tabert mentioned that too much high heat can destroy the medicinal and nutritional components of plants. In addition, from researchgate.net about drying medicinal plants, heat sensitive and photo sensitive phytochemicals may denature or destroy when exposed in too much heat.
@@HungrySciANNtist2020 i bought dried butterfly pea. its still a whole flower but dried already. i was confuse about its meicinal value. i still get the blue color...
Yes, it’s blue in color. Don’t worry that is its natural color. It will turn purple if you add lemon or calamansi in your tea. I have a video on how you can make blue tea and purple tea. Feel free to watch it. Thank you.
@@HungrySciANNtist2020 so kung gagawa po ng tea yung mild lang yung heat?
Hello po, If we’re drying the flowers po, I recommend air drying and mild heat and temperature, (or dehydrator) para po madry completely at hindi nabigla. Sa water nman po, we can use hot water in making tea, 3-5 mins steeping time lang po para hindi bitter ang taste. Nandun na po ang nutrients ng tea leaves/flowers ntin.
I have the plant at home, it gives 4-5 flowers each day. I wanted to store them instead of throwing them away. This video was helpful!
Hello guys! Based on my observation air drying of flowers keep the flowers’ natural color while sundrying gives the flowers pale color.
I'm struggling with the butterfly pea flowers I picked from my garden. When drying, mold would usually grow on it and it's frustrating.
Help!
Hi! How do you dry them? For me, I make sure that they are in well ventilated area. I place them individually on a tissue to make sure they won’t stick to one another. Let them dry completely before storing.
I have this same issue! and i dry mine in a toaster oven. Have you found a solution to the mold issue?
My too! I usually air dry them while picking it every day. And i forgot to turn them once in while,, and it gets mold on the bottom.. So i have to throw them on my compost bin.
also if you do have the vine plant when harvesting always remove the pods which the flowers were attached with.
Thank you for sharing this. I tried drying under the sun, medyo hindi maganda kinalabasan nung store ko sya may puti puti na sya after few days..
Gaanu po sya tumagal pagbair dried?
Thanks..
Thank you for watching din po. Hindi ko po kc tlaga dinadry ng direct sunlight kc po parang nabiglang dry lang, kya po air dry ang ginagawa ko at indirect sunlight. 4 months na po yung nasa jar ko na ginamit ko sa video na to. But it can last up to a year po basta proper ang drying at storage.
Thank you so much
Thank you for sharing
What is the shelf life ? Can anyone please let me know that ?❤️
Thanks for sharing! we also have it at home, hope you can also make a video on the benefit of the seed and leaves. 🤗
Hi Angela, Thank you for the idea, I will do a research on that and try it.
@@HungrySciANNtist2020 Thank youuuu 💓 Looking forward!
I live in a very humid place so drying outside isn't really practical and mold/fungus forms almost immediately so I got a dehydrator. Otherwise same steps just faster.
Consume lang po for ilang days. Kc hindi pede tumagal dahil nagkaka amag.
After cleaning with the water Should I put it in the window in the sun?
Can we keep them to dry in direct sunlight light
Okay, air dry but not in direct sunlight. So pwede sya outside just not under the sun? Also thank you for this
Yes po.
How long sya puede outside na hindi direct sunlight? Thanks for sharing this!
Better pa din may dehydrator. kapag air dry hindi maiwasan na may nga insects ng dadapo.
Yes po, tama po kayo dyan 👍
Can we make butterfly pea tea with this?
Thanks
Umm do we still get the preety blue colour tho?🙂
Thank you
I have plant which gives white flower. can i make tea from white flower
we have free butter fly pea bc it grows in our garden
Yes I have this planti need filter bag how can I get
so, is it ok to use kitchen towel or anything other than kitchen tissue?
Yes, you may use a towel. However, please check regularly if the moisture is kept and absorbed in the fiber of the towel. The towel should be dry all the time to prevent molds. I prefer tissue paper to allow a good flow of air.
Can we just make the tea without drying it first?
Yes, we can make tea right away from fresh flowers.
@@HungrySciANNtist2020 thanks
@@HungrySciANNtist2020 will there be difference?
Drying is a way of preserving the flowers. With this method, you’ll have a stock of dried flowers you can use anytime. With fresh flowers, I use around 3-4 pcs in a cup of tea. with dry flowers, I think I am using 5-8 pcs. When they are dried already, the quality of color degraded compared to the fresh one. For me the taste is the same. According to an article that I read, the benefits may degrade too or not the same to the fresh one due to heat.
@@HungrySciANNtist2020 i see now, thank you.
Thanks. How many months expiry pls
Hi! you can keep them up to a year.
does it bear flowers all year round?
Hi, just wondering as I’m still air drying the fresh flowers, how to store for a longer time? To put in fridge or cool dried place?
Hi! Mine is in the kitchen, inside the cabinet.
Dry place
Very nice content kapatid, thanks for the tips.polpak npo
Can I use fresh flowers of butterfly pea for tea? How many flower should I use?

Nice ...what is the name of the flower ?
butterfly pea flower
How and where can we sell
do we need to remove the calyx?? thanks!
No need to remove it before drying.
Thnks
Can the flowers be solar dried
Hi Sharron, I haven't tried it that way. Maybe some people here can respond with their experience about solar drying this flower.
Na dagara dried flowers vunnai
I live in a very humid country. Air drying is impossible. I tried sun drying but the flowers don't give me the blue colour I want.
A dehydrator is your friend. Wait for a black Friday deal and get a Hamilton beach one. Easy to use.
The mold will be live and emerge when you put in jar...
I am using same method but I am facing fungus issue. After drying one week later fungus is getting formed.
Hi! Please try this one. After drying, store them in a jar. Observe it for a week. If moist appear inside the jar, (or if the jar become cloudy) take them out and dry them again. It means they are not fully dry inside.
Can I use it on my ube jam.because real ube is pale violet in color.but ube jam and kalamay .they are dark violet maybe artificial coloring
Hello Jojo, Yes you may try. However, I haven’t tried it myself. I think your ube jam will be a lot healthier by using this as a natural food color.
I have often used the flowers in Ube jam, bread & drinks for a better color.
I read that the green part under the flower and the stamen are toxic n should be removed ! Is that true ?
Hello! I saw that on the internet too and decided to read further. There is no scientific studies supporting that claim. So, I don’t believe on that. Anyway, always remember that anything too much is not ok. So take it in moderation.
Can we make tea of this
Yes!
@@HungrySciANNtist2020 oh thanks💜
Pwd po ba isabay sa vitamins yan?
Hello po, I don’t recommend to take it with vitamins. Take your vitamins with water po. Then after few hour/minutes you can take blue tea.
You bought. This morning I just pluck and threw 😂😂
Balenilan days ang process ng drying mo?
Wala bang tumubong molds ph store monja s ajar mo?
hello po! 6 days ko lang po na air dry ang flowers ko. wala nman po molds na tumubo. kapag after po ng ilang months at nag iba po ang amoy at parang amoy molds, pwede nyo po ilabas ulet sa jar nya at air dry ulet. para po maalis ang moisture at hindi magtuloy ang tubo ng molds.
Put it in refrigerator
Nice video. Awesome.give your valuable comments to improve the quality of our channel thank you. Stay connected. Stay blessed
What is the use with this please let me know 🙏
Hello Sandhy! Here in Thailand, butterfly pea flower is used as food coloring for desserts, blue rice, and tea. It has a lot of health benefits. I have a separate video on how to make blue rice and blue tea. (with info about its health benefits) Please see those videos too. Thank you!
I have two flower giving butterfly pea plants at home right now, the thing is , the structure of the flower is different than the one i commonly see when butterfly pea flowers r shown, i don't know if mine is a different flower or its still the same, butterfly pea but just has a different structure 😞 any help?
Hi! You can search it online to compare the flower that you have. And yes, butterfly pea plant have different variations.
Pde po b yan s nagpapabreastfeed
Hello po, as per research po wala nman po sya serious na side effects maliban sa nausea and diarrhea. Pero for breastfeeding mom, ang advise po eh to consult your doctor first before taking.
Matapus ma dry ng ilang days.nilagay konja sa glass after 2 days nag molds pang 3 beses ko na gina same parin bakit kaya
Sa akin po kc ok pa nman ng ilang months. Make sure nyo nlng po dry completely. Crispy ang pgka dry nya para sure na walang moisture. Or baka po yung jar ang may naiwan na dumi or moisture.
HELP ! I harvested my butterfly pea flower, washed it, and while drying them in the sun i saw some APHIDS 😭 what to do???
Hi! Try to soak them in water and baking soda solution or water and dish soap solution. Wait until the insects detach themselves. Then wash again with water.
@@HungrySciANNtist2020 actually... thats a good idea, thankss ! 🙏🏼
Why keeping under the direct sun is bad? I did mine like that, by the evening it was well dried
Hi! Good to know that sun drying works for you. However, I prefer to use indirect sunlight and air drying because upon doing some research I learned that too much exposure to high heat might cause degration of some nutritional value of herbs. Also, I work during the day and I cannot keep an eye to my herbs/flowers if they are getting enough sunlight or if it will rain on the day that I leave them outside. It’s good that both methods work well for us.
I have this bouquet of flowers How can I sell these flowers in Sri Lanka help mi
Hi! If you cannot sell them fresh, you can dry them too. And be sure to tell people how to use it and its benefits. That way they will be educated and will be encouraged to buy your product. I have a separate video on its benefits and how to make a tea from the flowers. I hope it can help you.
💕💞
Ang dami naming flowers naka airdry kaso parang may molds white white sya eh. Hindi rin winash. Nakakapanghinayang tuloy.
Sayang nga po Mam, next time nlng po. Saka po make sure po natin na dry na po sya bago magdikit dikit. Kasi po kapag nagdikit dikit na sila habang basa pa, isa din po yun na cause ng molds. Salamat po sa panonood.
Haha 😂 I got an ads selling Food Dehydrator lololololol...
hahah, that’s funny. Ads: Don’t watch that video, buy our dehydrator instead :)
That is so long method 😭 any one day shortcut to preserve them longer😥😓🙏
Hi! You may use a food dehydrator.

Why to waste so much tissue paper 😢 you can use cotton cloth or other clothes 😢
paper will absorb more water than cloth
