What does activated charcoal do in food?

Activated charcoal works as a natural colouring ingredient, giving food and drink a deep black appearance while dispersing evenly through mixtures because of its ultrafine texture.

Is activated charcoal heat stable?

Yes, activated charcoal is heat stable, which means it keeps its colour during baking, cooking and freezing, making it suitable for both hot and cold recipes.

How much activated charcoal should you use?

Only a small amount is needed to achieve a strong colour. Most recipes use a teaspoon or less, and the intensity can be adjusted based on how dark you want the final result to be.
