Natural Food Colors

Tips for using the Colors Sun Food Colors s are pH sensitive and work best in slightly acidic environments. If you are using alkaline ingredients such as eggs and milk you may want to add a some lemon juice, citric or tartaric acid (all natural ingredients). The most affected colours are pink, purple and particularly the red – it goes pinky purple. We recommend testing the colours in a planned mixture to ensure desired colour can be reached prior to any important event.

Please also note, that colours will fade during baking and the colour may alter due to the heat and pH of the product. We do not recommend using them in baking products without experimenting first.

If you are intending to make a rainbow cake, please seek out a recipe that has been found to suit the use of natural colours. Not all recipes will give you the desired effect.

We do recommend storing the product in the fridge to ensure stability in extreme temperatures and to maintain colour intensity.
