As most of you know,
Artificial Food Colouring
Is very dangerous for our health.
Yet, It's something needed in cooking and baking.
How to get around this artificial stuff..?
SIMPLE
MAKE your own!!
The process I used to make this all natural RED food colouring
is the same as I used for my GREEN solution.
The only difference is in the ingredient.
To make this dye, I used........ BEETS!
I know, not everybody likes to eat beets but.....
The colour is nice, bold and vibrant; therefore works great as a food dye.
And if you worry about the taste transition - don't.......
Trust me, I can't taste any beets in my cookies :)
And best of all, this is 100% natural!!!
Let me show you how simple this process is.
Peel and wash couple of beets (depends how much of liquid you want to make)
For this recipe I only used one beet and it was more than enough.
In the blender or food processor blend the beets
Next, pass them through the sieve over an empty cup
And press until no more liquid will come out
Discard the beets and keep the juice - this is your food colouring.
I use it while fresh but if you must store it, make sure to store your colouring in an airtight container for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
Use it for any baking or cooking :)
That's how simple this is :))
Cheers!

Sounds great! Tell me how it went😁 I'm sure you'll love it!
Merry Christmas to you as well @flamingirl :))
yes, I like natural color as well. You can make orange color with carrot, green color with broccoli/spinach.
Yes, indeed @queenbe :)
intéressant article c'est de faire un colorant bio
Beetroot is so awesome for coloring! Unfortunately it does not only color the food but also your fingers :D
Turmeric powder is also a good one for coloring food yellow and strangely it does whiten your teeth when used as a toothpaste - nature is full of surprises :)
Yes, nature is full of surprises :)
And the beet colouring, you can wash it off of your hands with some lemon juice ;)
Great advice, I will definitely try that next time ;-)
Hi, this was a lovely tip! I would definitely use this rather than any artificial food colors since it's simple as well. Thanks :)
