Powdered food coloring

How to use powdered food coloring?

Powdered food coloring is used to color food in a highly concentrated way, without adding moisture to the mixture. It is particularly useful for water-sensitive preparations such as chocolate, macaron shells, or certain delicate pastries.

It can be incorporated directly into dry ingredients, or diluted in a suitable liquid (alcohol or rejuvenator ) for painting or spraying on decorations. It is a very popular format for obtaining intense and precise shades.

Powdered food coloring requires careful dosing because it's so concentrated. Add it little by little, using the tip of a knife or spoon. Always start with a very small amount, then mix and adjust if necessary by adding a little more powdered food coloring.

For painting, it must be diluted in a few drops of food alcohol (such as rejuvenator), and here too, it is better to dose gradually to control the intensity of the color.

What product should I use it with?

To use powdered coloring in your preparations, you will simply need a knife or a small measuring spoon to control the quantity of pigment that you incorporate into the preparation.

If you want to paint with it , you will need a food brush and a bottle of food-grade alcohol or rejuvenator, in order to mix the pigment and obtain a kind of paint.
