Turmeric Food Coloring

Turmeric Food Coloring

Everyday

Turmeric food coloring is a natural dye extracted from the rhizomes of the Curcuma longa plant, producing vibrant yellow-orange hues through its active compound curcumin. Widely used as a heat-stable alternative to synthetic dyes, it colors foods like curry powders, mustards, and processed snacks while offering potential anti-inflammatory benefits. This plant-based pigment meets vegan, gluten-free, and allergen-free dietary requirements, making it popular in both commercial food production and home cooking.
