BUTTERFLY BLUE PEA FLOWER - Color Changing Tea & Blue Rice Recipe ("Blue Matcha") - Amazing Plants 

Lol its quite funny how you described blue rice as just rice lol

Just call it "Malay dish". Culture is not about nations. It's about ethnicity or tribe. Even in the ethnicity or even a tribe, some groups have their own tradition. Like.. Malays in Malay peninsula and Malays in Sumatra Island are different. So sad that nowadays people make countries not based on their ethnicity region. South Thailand should be a part of Malaysia tho. And actually the whole Malays from south Thailand to Philippines should be one huge archipelago country. But now it is Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Brunei, Philippines, Timor Leste...

@@DBT1007 Filipino food and culture is pretty different from malay culture. Sure, we descend from Malay people, but we have our own culture, so you can’t just group us together like that, especially when it comes to food bruh

Mantap pak abuu

Mycology is fun, too! Clitocybe and Phallus!

Orchids are often used in bridal bouquets. In earlier times, I believe in Victorian times, sweet peas were traditionally used in wedding bouquets and flower arrangements.

David Enrique : These anthocyanin pigments are the basis of litmus dyes. You know how litmus paper turns pink if you dip it in an acid and blue if you dip it in a base? Same thing with red cabbage, red onions, these pea flowers, and a bunch of other colored plants.

As soon as I saw the colour of the flowers I was pretty sure that's what it was. I remember seeing some TV show where they solved a murder based on this principle. Blood from the victim changed the pH of the soil and changed the colour of the flowers.

great concept for a crime show haha

Cadwaladr : You’d need a lot of blood to change soil pH significantly (dried animal blood from slaughterhouses is a common fertilizer), but maybe it’s plausible, given just the right murder scenario. Hydrangeas are a famous pH indicator. If you grow them in acid soil, the flowers are blue. If you grow them in alkaline soil, the flowers are pink. If you grow them in neutral soil, the flowers are a greenish nondescript color.

@@censusgary Litmus has different chemicals from the anthocyanins. Litmus is produced by lichen rather than plants and the dye chemicals contain nitrogen. They can have the same colour change reaction but the pH range is likely to be different, depending on the plant source.

sound advice.

David Schargorodsky sadly she might get tunnel vision as a side effect.

Or, she might be tired of seeing things vagina-shaped...

@@leppavu I don't know about that--my gynecologist has a bunch of Diego Rivera's calla lily prints on the walls of her examination suite. A good chuckle puts patients at ease, which is a distinct benefit when you're asking women to get into the stirrups.

@@anne-droid7739 Sure, but a doctor's office isn't the same as her dining table at home. After a quick google, I don't think the art you mentioned is especially vagina reminiscent anyway.

very interesting!

Why is it used in brain tonics?

@@chalseywilder937 it's good for boosting memory power

@@jemimadaniel8364 thx

In bengal and jharkhand too, we call it by the same name..APARAJITA

I have to try this. Thanks.

it would 100% work!

Yes! That would be so cool! I’m surprised that chefs haven’t already jumped on incorporating this stuff in their dishes! A nearly tasteless, bright blue substance that changes color with acid!? The potential for doing incredibly cool stuff with it is endless!

@@AlbinoAxolotl I've seen it in cocktails but nothing beyond. I think it might be something to do with how less adventurous people than us tend to be put off by blue food.

Spicefreak Yeah that’s definitely true. Blue is not a color typically seen in many foods, especially savory stuff. Incorporating it into a fancy dessert would probably be the way to go!

@@AlbinoAxolotl Potatoes and carrots both used to be a purply-blue but they look like mould when mashed. Perhaps a lemon drizzle that you combine after serving for maximum impact?

It has such an amazing vibrant color

Interesting! I had no idea! I don’t like lemon in stuff so that’s probably why I never noticed but I’ll have to try it sometime!

Been wanting to review the corpse flower for a while now.

Pennisetum alopecuroides

Thanks Jen! Lots of fun ones on this trip!

Weird Explorer what site or forum do you use to ask people what a plant or fruit is? like if you dont know or need info about if its toxic or not

Omg...so many jokes...so little time---!!

Is this normally used with African dishes, or could it be good as lemony rice with Thai/Viet food?

Where can I get seeds for this?

Thank you Weird Explorer! 😘

He super hot 🥵

Great idea with the bubble reservoir glass. really there is so much that can be done with this, I'm surprised it isn't more popular at bars. Ooh.. I didn't know that amorphophallus plants had an edible root. I will have to try that.. even with out the dirty element the corpse flower is well worth talking about.

@@WeirdExplorer The main one that's eaten is Amorphophallus konjac, although there's many species that are eaten in various locales. I've not seen any specific reports of A. titanum being eaten, but I suspect it's just as edible as its siblings. But don't quote me on that! ;) Amorphophallus root (okay, okay, corm!) is actually quite healthy - it has almost no calories but contains a type of soluble fibre (glucomannan) which creates a sensation of fullness - although it's still disputed as to whether it actually helps one lose weight (it's also used to help improve the feed conversion ratios of livestock by improving intestinal health, as it feeds intestinal microflora; it's also been shown to improve immune system function). It's also used as a thickener, and can form vegan gels - both for desserts, and it's also considered particularly appropriate for vegan seafood substitutes. There are some cautions though about it being eaten in gel or dry form when not consumed with enough water, especially for children, for whom it can pose a choking hazard; it doesn't melt in the mouth like some gelling agents.

vegan seafood too... so interesting!

truth

Thats a great idea! So many things can be made magic!

The hydrangea is sequestering a toxic substance like aluminum phosphate or iron sulphate in its flowers.

@@tanyawales5445 Yum!

the blue is more beautiful ... you convinced me to grow it, thanks

I didn’t know that they came in double petal and white, too! In Singapore, we grew the purple and pink varieties and used them to make a blue-ish butterfly pea iced-tea. Very cooling on a hot day!

@@juliemcgugan1244 They are very hardy, i grew them to fix some "tired" dirt that need some nitrogen. I cut them back to the base and just keep coming back.

Thanks Vonda!

wow ive never heard of that combination of flavor in my life, but it sounds intriguing.

@@Dockhead it was very light and lovely just a slight Taste of lemongrass and blueberry. Obviously because the butterfly pea flower is rather flavorless

same

😮

Do you know a good source?

It's pretty common in India

cool. I didn't know that about rose petals.
