Nutricost Red Plant Based Food Coloring From Beet Root Powder (75 Servings)

An excellent replacement for red 40 if you have dye sensitive children, it actually makes a really nice pink also if you use less. I made a pretty pink cake and pink icing for my daughter’s 8th birthday. It does have a beet flavor which is not unpleasant.

Works great for baking. The dye mixes in well without changing the texture. There was no taste from the dye.

Bought to make a red velvet cake without dye. The color was beautiful but the heat in backing was too much for it. The color did not hold up and the vibrant red batter I had ended up more of a spice cake color. It did work well for the frosting though. The theme was “flash” the super hero.

I was hoping for a safe alternative to red dye food coloring. I guess this is safe, and it makes things red, but it’s very beet flavor forward, so beware…

Great healthy food coloring choice. It’s made from beets so you get a wonderful red or pink color. I make gelatin dessert with plain unflavored gelatin. I use monk fruit as a sweetener. This beet powder gives it a similarity ofJello but without the sugar. !!

I attempted to make a red velvet cake twice. I used the whole jar and the cake still turned out chocolate colored. I used a quarter cup of cocoa the first time, the second attempt I used two tablespoons of cocoa and the cake still turned out brown.

Love this product. Good red color, that you may need a lot of it. I used for cookies and appreciate plant-based alternative to Red dye number 5. No taste difference. Looking forward to trying other colors.

I absolutely love these food colorings. This one is tasteless and makes a beautiful red color without a lot of powder, yet plant derived, so you don't have to worry about all of the petroleum byproducts in your food.
