Create elegant grey-to-black colour in pastry, bakery and culinary preparations with this finely milled Japanese bamboo charcoal powder. Made from moso bamboo sourced from Shikoku, Japan, it is produced specifically for use as a plant-based food colouring.
Ground to approximately 15 microns, the extra-fine powder disperses smoothly through doughs, batters, creams and other mixtures with minimal perceptible texture. Its colour intensity can be adjusted from a subtle charcoal grey to a dramatic deep black, depending on the amount used and the natural colour of the recipe.
