Also suitable for adding to chocolate and brush decorating. The very fine and even grind allows these powders to be used in creams and glazes for decorating with pastry tips \u2013 the powder disperses evenly in the mass without creating graininess or lumps. High quality ensures an unusually bright and stable tone for natural colors, even when adding a relatively small amount of powder (compared to homemade or typical natural dyes on the market).   <\/p>\n<p><strong>Use<\/strong><strong> and stor<\/strong><strong>age.<\/strong><br \/>\nPastel shades are obtained by adding 1-2 tsp (2-6g) of powder per approximately 500g of mass, while intense tones are achieved per 50-200g of mass. These powders are also suitable for people with milk\/lactose intolerance, vegetarians, vegans, and children. Do not use if you have an allergy or intolerance to the specific plant. Store in a dark, dry place in a closed container. Protect from sharp temperature fluctuations and do not store near a constant heat source (e.g., radiators).     <\/p>\n<p><strong>Specif<\/strong><strong>ics of nat<\/strong><strong>ural dyes.<\/strong><br \/>\nNatural powders usually have a scent and taste. They can be flavored with food essences (e.g., peppermint) if you wish to change or mask the flavor. Fruit powders will give products a pleasant taste and acidity. Before adding to the mass, powders can be mixed with a small amount of vodka (to form a &#8220;slurry&#8221;) \u2013 the tone will brighten. By mixing with a larger amount of vodka, you can draw lines and contours with a brush, painting similarly to watercolors (the alcohol evaporates quickly \u2013 there will be no alcohol content in the final product). Sometimes the tone may change as a result of heating (e.g., baking dough with added powders or heating in a microwave). Also, do not leave the powder or the colored product in bright direct sunlight for a long time. Powders can be mixed with each other, but the resulting tone may differ from mixing synthetic colors, so it is recommended to first try with a small amount of the mass to ensure the new tone is satisfactory. The tone is also affected by the color of the mass itself; for example, coloring a yellow mass (butter\/margarine) with pink will create a warmer shade than mixing it into a white mass (e.g., curd). It is advisable to mix creams or glazes with powders at least 3 hours before decorating and to make the masses lighter than the desired final result, as the powders set gradually and the final intensity appears after some time.         <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>100% plant-based powders suitable for use in cakes, creams, glazes, cookies, ice creams, cocktails, and other sweet and savory dishes.
