Mynyel Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Anyone know of something I could use as a substitute for red dye and still get a red color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventureMoms Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 In what? I've used pureed beets before to make baked goods pink. It doesn't change the taste noticeably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Depending on what you're using it for, you can use beets, strawberries, raspberries or cherries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcia Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 There are natural dyes - India Tree. You can find them at places like Whole Foods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pod's mum Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Another plug for beet juice. I used to work on an organic orchard and we would add a large pot of boiled beets to apple and strawberry juice to enhance the colour. One pot went a long way.

NotSoObvious Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Beet juice, or just buy India Tree's dye (which is beet juice). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
