Homemade Food Coloring
Homemade food coloring options are only limited by imagination, flavor requirements and the effort required to separate the color from the source. There are a great many colorful fruit and vegetable items that can be applied as a natural food coloring in your kitchen.
Anyone who has ever added strawberries to a smoothie has added natural food coloring even though that was not likely the intent. Adding blueberries to the same smoothie would then create a purple shade and so on.
Turmeric is popular in the vegan community as a natural yellow coloring for tofu and puddings. Anything that can be juiced is a candidate as a homemade food coloring. It may be prudent to use a fine strainer or coffee filter to further purify the natural liquid color.
