RFRK turns 20: colour by nature!

  • June 14, 2024

RFRK’s Chick-a-Noodle soup with golden turmeric colouring!

To keep our fave ingredients highlights rolling, let’s talk about how we add a colour splash to lunch & snack time. We eat with our eyes first, but want bright & appealing food that still looks real, so when we add a pop of colour to our dishes, it comes from everyday pantry ingredients.

We use golden turmeric to add a ray of sunshine to our rich soup broths, like the Beany Noodle & Chick-a-Noodle soups.

beet powder

Beet powder can add both purple & red tones. It adds a very slight tint of pink to our Honey Yogurt & a beautiful pop of pink to our Apple-Banana Purée.

carrot coins

Orange you glad we use puréed carrots in our Mac’n Cheese & Groovy Gravy sauces? We’ve already talked about how they add a hint of natural sweetness to our meals, but the almighty carrot is also a great way to amp up the orange factor! 

Can we paint our plates with even more colourful, real food? We’d love to hear your comments!
