True colours

This picture shows the gorgeous natural colours of real food. It makes me wonder why anyone would want to add a lurid food dye to their food. 

Unless that food is so unnatural it needs to be disguised by adding a colour. 

Children are usually attracted to food in bright, gaudy colours, and the brightest colours come from the fruit and vegetable world. But most of us quickly lose contact with what our body wants and turn to junk food that imitates real food. 


Instead of eating a real orange we become addicted to orange-coloured sweets.  

We poured out these tasters after making a few juices at The Flavour Co. They contained nothing but fruit. The one on the left was pineapple, ginger, chilli, lemon and lime; the one in the middle was spinach, lime, apple and pineapple and the one on the right was strawberry and pineapple. 

They were all delicious.
