Natural bakery food colors for your bakery products

The appearance of baked goods is crucial to their appeal, and their color helps them stand out. The right shade indicates quality, taste, brand value and freshness as well as delivering the Instagrammability factor.

At the same time, natural ingredients are essential if bakery products are to achieve widespread consumer acceptance.

EXBERRY® plant-based colors can be used to achieve bright shades from across the rainbow in a vast array of bakery applications while maintaining clean labels.

Cake and dessert mixes

In the age of social media, vibrantly colored cakes and desserts have hit the mainstream. Plant-based food colors are ideal for powdered cake and dessert mixes, using fruits, vegetables, and plants.

EXBERRY® powders can be used for these applications, delivering a full spectrum of colors in a truly natural way. The pH is a key consideration for certain shades although performance is not affected for yellow, orange, and brown hues
