More about Food Coloring
Nature's Flavors uses a variety of premium raw materials to manufacture our natural and organic food colors. This includes beets, turmeric root, annatto seeds, purple carrot, purple cabbage, gardenia flowers, hibiscus flowers, grape skin, and many more. Our food dye is made using only all-natural and organic plant extracts, which have been shown to be high in bioflavonoids, polyphenols, and antioxidants. These are all active, beneficial additives to you and your children's diet.
We are constantly discovering and testing new types of natural food colors. For coloration purposes, natural and organic food coloring yields the same results as artificial food dyes, oftentimes being just as potent. Some exceptions occur where slightly more natural or organic food color may be needed. However, artificial food coloring does not provide health benefits.
