OliveNation Natural Powdered Food Color, Blue (Spirulina) is a plant-based natural colorant made of 100% butterfly pea flower extract. The powdery fine crystal formulation offers low dust, superior solubility in water, and consistent coloring within pH levels. This natural blue food coloring powder is stable from pH 3.0 to pH 7.0, with maximum stability at pH 3.75. This colorant is highly impacted by acidity, and color may wash out in higher acidic environments. While this natural blue food coloring powder is very concentrated and requires only a small amount for saturated color, it has poor heat stability and is not recommended for bakery applications. The colorant is ideal for use mixed with sugar as a decorating dust or mixed with clear, low pH liquids for edible paint and airbrushing as well as beverage uses*.

Bulk blue natural food coloring powder from spirulina is excellent for use in a variety of commercial and professional food and beverage applications. This carrier-free powdered colorant offers excellent shelf stability, making it great for use in dry mixes as well as desserts, edible decoration, and beverages. The bold blue coloring is ideal for use in clean-label, zero-calorie, plant-based, gluten-free, and other specialty diet applications at home or in professional and commercial bakery, restaurant, and food and beverage manufacturing use at scale. The low-dust powdered color is ideal for creating brilliant blue hues from pastels to true deep blues depending on moisture, temperature, and pH level, and can be a great replacement for FD&C Blue#1 in recipes.
