    What can I use instead of food coloring?

    There are a huge number of alternatives out there for food coloring, you just need to look. We’re sure that if you were to pick up a couple of different ingredients at your greengrocer’s and experiment with them, you’d be able to have your own supply of wonderful colorings in no time at all.

    The trick to finding a good ingredient to use instead of food coloring is to consider the flavor and concentration of your food coloring.

    For example, if you were trying to dye something yellow, then you might opt for saffron or turmeric. Both of these spices have a powerful color, which makes them ideal. You could dissolve some turmeric in a small volume of water and make a particularly powerful food dye that would be perfectly safe for eating. In fact, it would probably be really good for you!

    The thing that you’d need to consider there, though, is that both saffron and turmeric have quite potent flavors. In order to deal with that, you’d be best served by choosing other flavors which, when aligned with the turmeric and saffron, would combine to form a tasty flavor. For example, turmeric pairs well with ginger, or even garlic – so those flavors would work well together in a biscuit that you particularly wanted to have a burned yellow color.

    How do you make natural green food coloring?

    There are two great ways to achieve natural green food coloring: matcha and spinach. The problem is, though, that you first need to understand the difference between using a powder base and a liquid base.

    Using matcha to dye a certain food product green would be making use of a powder base. This powder base can typically get more effectively spread throughout the food that you’re dying, allowing for a much stronger flavor. Furthermore, powders are typically already fairly concentrated simply because the molecules are closer together in a solid dye compared to a liquid dye.

    Using spinach to dye a food product will rely on using the spinach to make a liquid food coloring. This is a simple process, but it’s also quite time-consuming, so it may not be as worthwhile if you don’t have the time to spare.

    The other thing to consider about liquid food colorings is that they’re typically not as concentrated, for the reasons we spoke about above. You don’t really want to add a lot of food coloring to a recipe because you may affect the overall consistency and flavor, so you’ll have to go about concentrating them in some way.
