At the just-concluded 2021 China International Baking Exhibition, a variety of colorful and unique cakes and breads attracted the attention of all the audience, and the whole exhibition process was extremely pleasing to the eye. I have to admit that in the baking industry, appearance is justice, and color is king.

Remember the red velvet cake, known as the Queen of Temperament?

Without these beautiful colors, baking would become bland.
Pigments are the magic behind all this amazing beauty, and natural pigments from natural animals and plants undoubtedly make it all more perfect. Carrots, beets, red yeast rice, gardenia, turmeric, etc., these foods with bright colors have long been used by humans for food coloring, and with the help of modern food technology, these colors can be more realistically restored, and more conveniently applied to all kinds of food, adding countless beautiful colors to our lives.
While unable to abandon the attractive color, many people are also worried about the safety of pigments. In fact, even if it is a natural pigment, the country has strict and meticulous regulations on its use.
