If you like frosting cakes and bakes, you don’t have to buy commercial versions (pink and red dyes are often made dead red insects – cochineal or carmine). And other colours are likely to be chemically-based Crowded Kitchen has a great post, just look up your preferred colour to find the instructions. The dyes include:
- Matcha is a Japanese powder to turn things green
- Beet powder can turn things pink or red.
- Acai is a superfood berry to turn things purple
- Turmeric is a spice to turn things yellow
- Charcoal powder is used to make things black
