Something else I haven't heard mentioned yet, it helps A LOT with heartburn/gastric reflux. My wife had to hunt for these flowers when she grew up in the Philippines because she couldn't sleep due to stomach acidity. The blue flower always helped the burning sensation die down. I mentioned this to one of my sisters, who did some chemical analysis of the "tea" and titrated it to prove that it actually is a base, and can reduce the acidity in the stomach. I thought it was pretty cool, and no one else seems to have realized this yet 😄
I’m amazed by the quality & great content on all these videos! They’ll be fun to revisit while waiting for next spring. My starts never really took off for this flower, but that was my own poor planning, they were shaded out by Luffa & Cucamelon. Next year, I’ll be making sure they get full sun 👍🏼
Thank you so much! That's very kind of you. I'm glad you're enjoying the videos :) I think you'll have better luck next year with the flower. It can be quite wimpy at first but it will pay off once it gets going. Good luck out there and thanks again!
They are used as feed plant for goats. Its a legume so it fills the need for protein content. But in India I always had the cold drink in summer days because the flavor is nice and the color when you are having cold lemon and blue drink =)
I cannot wait to grow mine. I have already scarified 6 seeds and have them soaking in room temperature rain water. Going to check on them tomorrow and prepare to plant. Looking forward to blue tea and blue gin that'll turn purple when I add a slice of lemon.
Love your presentaiton! I would use maple syrup or coconut sugar or whatever else but not sugar to sweeten it if it is even necessary! Such a nice plant with a rainbow of benefits! Love it and already growing some, thank you for this guidance.
Hi there! Thank you so much! That is a great idea. Better to use coconut sugar or local honey over white sugar for sure. The tea has a nice earthy flavor all on it's own too. Thanks for watching!
Awesome! Thanks so much. I think you'll really enjoy them. I started some extra this year that I'm sharing with friends. You'll get a TON of seeds so you'll never have to buy them again!
I read that too which is why I never eaten them! I bit into one and it was very bitter.. But I've also read that the young, tender pods are edible and only become toxic as the get older. There may be some conflicting info out there 🤷🏻♂️ But you're right, I probably should have mentioned that in the video..
Young pods and shoots are edible... flowers itself can be added into your salad to add color... just don't eat the pods if its old that's for seedling...
I planted seeds and plants that came out are kinda mixed. I got the usual singles but some are doubles. One plant seemed to have too much petals that it never fully open up unlike the other doubles. Never saw it grew pods like the others. Decided to start hand pollinating it today. Crossing my fingers.
In india we actually worship with these flowers and other flowers which also have many ayurvedic medicinal purposes. Most of our rituals are scientific and had many uses.
Hello! I've seen plants for sale in areas where this is a perennial, like South Florida. I haven't seen the seeds anywhere other than online. If you search "Butterly Pea Flower seeds" you can see several suppliers. Good luck!
Hey there! Yes, it should grow fine up there as an annual. You can definitely start it indoors to get a head start on the growing season. I imagine you could grow it indoors if you have the space and enough natural light. It doesn't get very wide but it can grow long and tall! Good luck!
Great idea! Can't wait to try this again. I only have 2 plants this year but I still have a bunch of dried flowers from last year. Thanks for watching!
Hey there! They are perennial in their native zone (9-11) but they are grown as an annual everywhere else. They grow pretty fast so you can still enjoy the flowers for a good part of the growing season. Definitely worth a try!
I got mine from Baker Creek rareseeds.com. It helps to scratch the seed a little bit and soak them for a few hours. Hope you have better luck next time!
Hello! I've read the whole plant is mildly toxic so I would do a little more research first before ingesting. The flowers are excellent in a tea though. Good luck!
Hello! I've read that the beans and peas are mildly toxic. There may be ways to prepare them safely but I'm not familiar enough with that. We don't eat them. Just enjoy the beautiful flowers!
Hey there! Yes, I would imagine they're all basically the same. There is conflicting information about what parts of the plant are edible so be sure to look into that a bit more before eating any. The flowers are the only part I can say for sure are edible. Enjoy!
@@inchwormgardens thx! I also know for sure the seeds/peas are real poisonous! Don't worry I'll be careful and always make sure is safe! That's y I'm asking 😅
What I have. NOticed that most of these plants nuts seeds sort of looks like some parts of the. Body .. so I figure whatever part of the body looks like that’s what it will cure or fix.🤔🤔 just saying
First of all LOL, that it's named after "a part of the female anatomy." So, scarify is pronounced like "scar" not "scare" but I sure laughed when you said you were going to scare-ify the seeds. On Baker Creek's own TH-cam channel the lady showing how to plant it says it is more sedating than chamomile. I am glad I watched their video because this is the "secret ingredient" used to make blue ramen you may have seen in viral videos in Japan. I was going to show people how to make this blue ramen without knowing it was a sedating plant when I have a heart condition. It is likely one sip could have affected me, I cannot drink one sip of chamomile without getting affected. If they have that info in their TH-cam video they should have a warning on their package. Also, any restaurant serving "blue ramen" should warn people that the "secret ingredient" is a sedative. I'd be pretty upset if I took my dream vacation to Japan to film a food vlog like other TH-camrs have done, and passed out in my bowl of blue ramen.
Oh my! That is a great point. Passing out in a plate of ramen would be a pretty terrible experience! I'm going to try making some blue rice soon. I made a simple syrup last year which turned out pretty good. We used it as a cocktail mixer. Thanks for the correction. I certainly don't want to SCARE-ify 👻 anybody, haha.
Hello! I couldn't find anything online about this specifically. Sorry! I would think it's okay but I'm not qualified to give any medical advice so it's up to you!

Oh wow! That is super cool! What an amazing plant. Thanks for sharing that.

VendettaDeZippo- Thanks for sharing this information.
I’m digging the mad scientist vibe on this video. Can’t wait to grow this plant so I can impress the kids! 👍🏼
Haha, thank you! Yes, definitely give this one a try. Very rewarding and the kids will love it. Good luck!
I love making butterfly pea flower tea but I had no idea the leaves were edible and that the plant grew bean pods too!! So cool!!
Yeah! Amazing plant. Didn't realize it had so many health benefits.
Speaking of human sexuality, you're one handsome gardener.
Well, thank you very much!

"Let's take a closer look shall we" he he very well scripted! lol love video
hehe 😉 Thanks for watching!
Just planted some appreciate the information 🙂 Also, Baker Creek is the best place for seeds I've bought many varieties over the years.
Awesome! Glad you found this video helpful. I agree, I love Baker Creek! I'm actually headed to their Spring Planting Festival tomorrow. Can't wait!
Really cool video. Thanks man, growing mine soon!
Awesome! Thanks so much. I think you'll really enjoy them. I started some extra this year that I'm sharing with friends. You'll get a TON of seeds so you'll never have to buy them again!
AMAZING EXPLANATION ♦️
Thanks so much! I appreciate that :)
thank you
You're welcome! Thank YOU for watching!
The plant is really next level - medical plant.
Seriously!
I just bought some seed thank you for this info
Awesome! Enjoy the lovely plant and bountiful harvest!
Bakers creek says the pods are not edible and possibly toxic.
I read that too which is why I never eaten them! I bit into one and it was very bitter.. But I've also read that the young, tender pods are edible and only become toxic as the get older. There may be some conflicting info out there 🤷🏻♂️ But you're right, I probably should have mentioned that in the video..
Young pods and shoots are edible... flowers itself can be added into your salad to add color... just don't eat the pods if its old that's for seedling...
@@inchwormgardens looks like the same situation as the hyacinth bean, safe while pretty young but becomes toxic as it mature.
@@nunyabiznes33 You're totally right. Sounds like there's cooking methods to remove the toxicity too.
I planted seeds and plants that came out are kinda mixed. I got the usual singles but some are doubles. One plant seemed to have too much petals that it never fully open up unlike the other doubles. Never saw it grew pods like the others. Decided to start hand pollinating it today. Crossing my fingers.
Oh cool! My original seeds were supposed to be "doubles" too but I think I only ever got singles.
In india we actually worship with these flowers and other flowers which also have many ayurvedic medicinal purposes. Most of our rituals are scientific and had many uses.
Beautiful! What an amazing plant.
Great video
Thanks so much for watching!
Are there seeds or seedlings sold in nearby nurseries here inUSA?
Hello! I've seen plants for sale in areas where this is a perennial, like South Florida. I haven't seen the seeds anywhere other than online. If you search "Butterly Pea Flower seeds" you can see several suppliers. Good luck!
I heard leave are not to be eaten.
I heard that too! There seems to be some conflicting information on that point. I'll do more research into this. Thanks!
I live in Seattle, will this grow here? I wonder if I can grow it indoors. Thanks
Hey there! Yes, it should grow fine up there as an annual. You can definitely start it indoors to get a head start on the growing season. I imagine you could grow it indoors if you have the space and enough natural light. It doesn't get very wide but it can grow long and tall! Good luck!
@@inchwormgardens when would you speculate to start it indoors? February? We are in the Willamette valley Oregon, not dissimilar from Seattle
I cold brew it. It makes me sleepy.
Great idea! Can't wait to try this again. I only have 2 plants this year but I still have a bunch of dried flowers from last year. Thanks for watching!
We farming this flowers and we need a market to sell. Where are you from ??
Hello, I'm in Middle Tennessee
@Inchworm gardens Can I grow this in Southern CA? We're not as humid as the Asian countries that grow it or WA state.
Hey there! Yes! This would grow great is Southern CA. Give it a try!
@@inchwormgardens ok thank you!
Can I grow this in Las Vegas?
Brother where can I buy betterflry pea flourwer seeds ?

❤🌹🙏🌹❤️
Four of gaiden
How long do they live? Are they a perennial or short-lived?
Hey there! They are perennial in their native zone (9-11) but they are grown as an annual everywhere else. They grow pretty fast so you can still enjoy the flowers for a good part of the growing season. Definitely worth a try!
Where did u get the seeds? The one I got from Amazon did not sprout at all.
I got mine from Baker Creek rareseeds.com. It helps to scratch the seed a little bit and soak them for a few hours. Hope you have better luck next time!
What's the seeds call can u please do a video of the seeds
Hey there! They're just called Butterfly Pea Flower seeds. They look like little beans. Hope you can find some!
in Hindi It is, APRAJEETA. means Undefeatable.
How cool! I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing!
Can the leaves be used for tea as well?
Hello! I've read the whole plant is mildly toxic so I would do a little more research first before ingesting. The flowers are excellent in a tea though. Good luck!
Are these pea seeds edible like green pea vegetable?
Hello! I've read that the beans and peas are mildly toxic. There may be ways to prepare them safely but I'm not familiar enough with that. We don't eat them. Just enjoy the beautiful flowers!
Are other colours edible?
Hey there! Yes, I would imagine they're all basically the same. There is conflicting information about what parts of the plant are edible so be sure to look into that a bit more before eating any. The flowers are the only part I can say for sure are edible. Enjoy!
