Natural Food Colors
Natural food colors are derived from various sources such as fruits, vegetables, spices, and herbs. Unlike artificial food colors, they do not contain any synthetic or chemical components, making them a healthier and safer option for coloring foods and beverages.
Natural food colors are available in a wide range of hues, from reds and oranges to yellows and greens. They can be used to enhance the visual appeal of food products while also providing nutritional benefits, as many natural color sources contain antioxidants and other beneficial compounds.
Common natural food colorings include beet juice for red/pink, turmeric for yellow, spinach for green, and blueberries for blue/purple.
