GRANILLOS/SPRINKLES
Unlike conventional sprinkles that often use artificial dyes, natural-colored sprinkles are tinted using plant-based or mineral-derived colorants. Common natural sources include:
Beet juice or pomegranate for pinks and reds
Turmeric or annatto for yellows and orangE
Spirulina or matcha for greens
Blueberry, purple carrot, or red cabbage extract for blues and purples
These sprinkles often come in a variety of shapes (rods, dots, confetti, etc.) and are made from simple ingredients like cane sugar and natural thickeners. Their colors tend to be slightly more muted or earthy compared to artificial alternatives, offering a more organic, wholesome aesthetic that's ideal for clean-label or health-conscious baking.
