[Olive]

do they exist??

[Tinks]

I'm pretty sure Queen make an all natural food colouring but have no idea where to buy it.

Olive, I've just googled and found a site called healthy kids dot com dot au who sell natural food colourings AND hundreds and thousands

They're a tad exxy though.

cochineal = pink
turmeric = yellow
cocoa = brown (haha obviously)

These are the only ones I know, but you can get them at your regular supermarket.

Oh, just remembered - sometimes ppl use beetroot for pink colouring but I'm pretty sure you'd get a bit of beety taste with it.

I know this is an old thread, but i thought I'd pop on with something I found in a search.
They're called Hoppers natural colourings and they make sprinkles/100's and 1000's too, all with no artificial colours/preservatives.
They are $6 a jar, but if you use them, then they're worth it.

[Olive]

where do you get the 100 and 1000s from kim??

I was going to say I know Christy uses beetroot juice for pink

If you google the name Olive they have a website where you can buy them.
