I've read that liquid chlorophyll can be used as a natural food coloring (for frosting). Does it have a strong taste and does it color food green?

It makes everything green. Including your tongue n clothes if it spills on it. The taste is not strong but I enjoy greens.

That would depend on how you intend on using it. It contains sodium (a minor amount in the amount of about 110 mg per serving so it would not taste all that salty). If you intend on taking it orally by itself with water, lets say, then yes, it is quite strong. If, however, you intend to put it inside a veggie smoothie or something of that nature, then the taste will die down a bit. This is a general matter of opinion, however as everyone tastes differently. Again, depending upon how much you use, it will color your food green and, if you drink too much of it, your stools will be green as well. :) Yes, it will also work to color frosting green the healthy way!!!

Yes....our youth group did a color explosion activity where I mixed 1 part of this paint (dry) and 1 part corn starch. We put them in bottles and threw at each other. Doesn't taste great if you get it in your mouth, but not harmful. I wouldn't eat handfuls of it. But never had any issues with the 50+ people that participated in our event.

I mix 1/3 teaspoon of the powder with 38 ounces of cold water to make iced green tea. It does not dissolve completely, but it does color the water green and tastes like brewed green tea only very strong. Some sediment will fall to the bottom, but if you swirl your cup before taking a drink, it mixes it up nicely and you won't be getting any tea leaf texture. I have found it unnecessary to use hot water or brew it. Your personal tastes will dictate whether this approach works for you.

I don't know about any intent but I it does taste green which doesn't bother me. I usually mix it with a flavored protein in the morning.

it is NOT blue (it is white). i know next to nothing about such things, but i think the lip balm ingredient that you might be interested in is STEAROYL INULIN which is produced in a process involving stearic acid chloride and inulin. stearoyl inulin, i suspect, is used in lip balm/skin care products as an emollient and/or emulsifier and/or surfactant--maybe. i use inulin (NOT to be confused with stearoyl inulin) as a prebiotic and in my homemade cocoa milk because it helps the raw/unprocessed cocoa powder dissolve more easily in cold milk (one of the few things in life that tastes good and is good for me).. it is NOT blue (it is white). i know next to nothing about such things, but i think the lip balm ingredient that you might be interested in is STEAROYL INULIN which is produced in a process involving stearic acid chloride and inulin. stearoyl inulin, i suspect, is used in lip balm/skin care products as an emollient and/or emulsifier and/or surfactant--maybe. i use inulin (NOT to be confused with stearoyl inulin) as a prebiotic and in my homemade cocoa milk because it helps the raw/unprocessed cocoa powder dissolve more easily in cold milk (one of the few things in life that tastes good and... » Read More it is NOT blue (it is white). i know next to nothing about such things, but i think the lip balm ingredient that you might be interested in is STEAROYL INULIN which is produced in a process involving stearic acid chloride and inulin. stearoyl inulin, i suspect, is used in lip balm/skin care products as an emollient and/or emulsifier and/or surfactant--maybe. i use inulin (NOT to be confused with stearoyl inulin) as a prebiotic and in my homemade cocoa milk because it helps the raw/unprocessed cocoa powder dissolve more easily in cold milk (one of the few things in life that tastes good and is good for me).. « Show Less

This one tastes very green, no added flavors. I would describe it as earthy and I mix with plain water first thing in the morning and I enjoy the earthiness of it and there is no aftertaste. It would mix well with other things probably if you prefer since it has no flavor added.

I know this is an old question, but in the medical world, a "clear liquid diet" doesn't mean whether it has color or not. A clear liquid diet could include grape juice or cranberry juice. It just doesn't include things like cream of chicken soup. Therefore, these drops are appropriate.

In warm weather it is liquid but if kept in a/c or winter cool it is solid. It tells you this is noal on the label. Also you may find se dark bits but that is from the inner coconut. I don't cook with it but could. I use it to remove makeup, moisturizer my African daughters hair, and just normal moisture on my dry skin.

Love this color too and it is not frosted. It lasts for at least a week and I would suggest you buy the clear coat to make it last even longer.

It depends on what you mix, I suggest make your drink and store any excess in glass containers, the containers you blend with can then be cleaned quickly. Also it would remove any flavoring, so that what you mix next is pure. The stronger the color of the vegetable,(beets, kale, berries), will tend to leave their scent and color.

I don't know whether this is food grade or not, but I have been using it in food for a long time. You only need a drop for a drink of iced tea or if you are making icing. A tiny bit goes a long way. I have used the brand put out by Nichols Nursery which I believe is a food item. I assumed they were the same thing, so I never thought to look and see.

It's no different then any other food coloring, except the color is SO much better...Your icing will be just fine :) I only use Americolor since I discovered it.

We always used food coloring to dye our Glass Wax! We made many colors using the color chart on the back of the food coloring package! Very easy. We always tested our colors to make sure they were vibrant enough before we did our stencils.

No. It has the FDC colors so I returned it. Look for Seelect (seelecttea.com) if you want all natural food coloring.

I would not try red food coloring as it is not formulated to disapate when exposed to the sun. You may wind upqith ares that are red permanently.

Its smooth, it goes through a mesh tray before it is collected. The only exception I notice was with heavy dark greens, they have a denser juice that is a thicker consistency as a result of the chlorophyll. Nothing to worry about though, I totally recommend it. I use it everyday!!!

Have not used food coloring but did try powdered kool aid once (no sugar, Ha!). It worked but made my yard smell like Roarin' Raspberry. I now just spray the best I can and in two days I can see where I've missed. I take a few more minutes and I've pretty much covered everything.
