Food colours derived from food
Wonderful to find food colours that you can use with confidence knowing that they are not harmful. We decorated heart shaped cookies for Valentines Day and the colours turned out very nicely. I also used the blue (not pictured here) which was simply a true blue. They are powdered so don’t thin the icing.

Great natural dye option
I used these powdered dyes to make homemade play dough for the kids. Wanted inexpensive colors that did not contain artificial dyes and harmful chemicals, and these were perfect! A little goes a long way and they mix together great! Was able to get very vibrant colors using just 1/4 -1/2 tsp each. It comes with 3 colors and they even include the recipe and ratios to mix for other color options.

Works great with homemade buttercream! RECEIPT INCLUDED
YAY! This coloring is amazing. My son can't have artificial dyes so we have tried many natural color options over the years. THIS is our favorite by far. The powder colors blend in great and on first try we mixed green just as the box instructed and it turned out great!! With other brands the colors were very light with recommended amount and we would have to use a lot. We had perfect green icing the first try and my son was thrilled! I have already order another box because we have not seen this locally and I want to be sure we have more. I will post the buttercream icing recipe we use below. It has worked amazing with this coloring and the icing is the correct amount to follow the mixing guide on the box.**Buttercream Icing**1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted2 tablespoons milkMcCormick Natural Food Color1) Cream room temperature butter with a hand mixer, the paddle attachment of a stand mixer, or a wooden spoon until smooth and fluffy.2) Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar until fully incorporated.3) Beat in vanilla extract.4) Pour in milk and beat for an additional 3-4 minutes.5) Add food color, if using, and beat for thirty seconds until smooth.

AWESOME VIBRANT COLOR!!
AWESOME!! Colors were vibrant and didn't affect the taste. I will never go back to artificial food color. One note- this is a powder and even a small amount will dry out frosting so I would suggest adding more milk or whatever liquid you use in your frosting recipe, I didn't expect this so I had a little trouble frosting and piping. Next time I will anticipate this texture adjustment.

The dye doesn't hold up to heat. Not for cooked food.
Does not work in cooked food. I love that it is plant based but it did me no good for the things I used it for. I made my kids "Green Eggs and Ham". I mixed it into the eggs before cooking. They looked very green but when as the eggs cooked the color disappeared. I figured I just hadn't added enough. Today for St. Patrick's day I made green pancakes. The batter was a nice shade of mint green. I made sure to add more than I thought it would take just to be sure. It was great, until I added heat. As the pancake cooked it turned pink! We ended up with magic pancakes that turned from green to deep pink. It probably works great for things that don't require heat like icing but I didn't buy it for that purpose. Disappointed.
