New Product: All Natural Food Coloring

posted by Mighty Staff

Many coloring agents used in frostings, icings and the like are made from synthetic dyes. If you are after a natural alternative check out India Tree's Natural Decorating Sugars. They are made instead from vegetable colorants. In addition to natural food coloring they also produce pretty candied rose (and violet) petals and a wide variety of colored sprinkles, sanding sugars, and French dragees.

I used the India Tree food coloring (liquid, comes in 4 small squeeze-bottles) for some tangerine french macarons that i wanted to color orange. The yellow color is made from turmeric, and it was flavoring my meringue too strongly to use more than a couple drops, which didn't go very far color-wise. I love the idea, but I can't recommend using them for meringues, frostings, or anything that requires subtlety of flavor.
