Dark Red Natural Food Color for No-Bake or Low-Temp Applications

• Naturally Deep Red Color from Vegetable Juices
• Contains No Artificial or Synthetic Dyes
• Adds Rich, Earthy Tone to Icing, Frosting, Ice Creams & More
• Flavorless and Aroma-Free

Our dark red natural food coloring uses vegetable juices instead of artificial dyes to give foods rich, earthy color without adding flavoring or smell. This plant-based liquid colorant is best used for cold, no-bake, or low-temperature applications, as the final color is very dependent on heat and light, as well as acidity. Our water-soluble dark red natural food coloring makes it easy to create rich, earthy tones in the pastel to muted range. This liquid colorant is ideal for adding color to ice cream, milkshakes, smoothies, and other creamy beverages. The finial product color of this dark red natural food coloring for icing is sensitive to heat, making it a great choice for use in frostings, fillings, buttercreams, and even dry decorating sugars. Because high-heat applications such as baking will fade the exact hue, colors will be deeper in no-bake, or cold recipes. Our liquid plant-based dyes will produce stronger, more vibrant shades when used in more acidic environments.

Recommended Usage: Use 1/2 to 3/4 of a percent based on total volume to start. Final color will be strongest when total pH is in the 4-5 range.
