Our Natural Food Coloring, Dark Red uses vegetable juices instead of artificial dyes to give foods rich, earthy color without adding taste 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. Liquid food dye is ideal for adding color to ice cream, milkshakes, smoothies, and other creamy beverages. The final product color of this plant-based natural red food coloring is sensitive to heat, making it a great choice for use in frostings, icing, fillings, buttercream, and to make colored 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 food 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.
