Categorized as a condiment, this coloring agent doesn’t impact flavor but adds vibrant tones to meals. E-102 (tartrazine) gives a bright yellow hue, while E-129 (allura red AC) adds a reddish tint. It's commonly used in rice dishes, stews, or sauces, where presentation matters as much as taste.

Interestingly, this product is sometimes used in comfort food recipes or regional specialties where color plays a symbolic role, such as in festive dishes or traditional family meals.

Recipe tip:
For a vibrant yellow rice, sauté onions and bell peppers, add rice and water, stir in a pinch of this coloring, and cook until done. Serve with grilled chicken or vegetables.
