• Intense egg-yellow shade — a little goes a long way; use a pinch for vivid color
• 25 g sachet — compact and easy to store in your spice drawer
• Works in cakes, cookies, marzipan, icing, rice, and desserts

How to Use

Dissolve a small amount (start with 1/4 teaspoon per batch) in a teaspoon of warm water before adding to batters, doughs, or sauces to ensure even distribution. For dry applications like coating sugar or dusting, use directly from the sachet. Adjust quantity to achieve your desired depth of color.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a natural or synthetic color? Preema food colors are synthetic (artificial) dyes — the same class widely used in commercial baking. Always use as directed on the label.

Can I use it in savory dishes? Yes — egg yellow is often used in biryani, pilau rice, and other savory preparations to achieve a warm golden color without altering flavor.

How much should I use for a full cake? Start with 1/4 teaspoon dissolved in water. Add more gradually; the color intensifies after baking so less is usually more.
