Expert Review and Insights
PME has a solid reputation for a reason, and this 100% natural food colouring View Profile → is a perfect example of why. The colour is rich and doesn't have that synthetic 'off' taste you can get with some brands. It blends beautifully into buttercream and royal icing without splitting it. For any baker serious about quality ingredients, this is a brilliant addition to the pantry.
Sophie Brooks – Chef Tools Expert
- Pro: Exceptionally vibrant colour from purely natural sources, perfect for clean-label baking.
- Con: Requires gradual adding for dark shades, unlike some instant-result gels.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
'The Painted Lady Bakery' in York needed a reliable, natural food colouring for cakes to perfect their signature pistachio and matcha cupcakes, driven by customer demand for cleaner labels.
"We were struggling to find a green that was both vibrant and completely natural. The PME Juniper Green is spot on. Our customers have noticed the difference, and the colour holds perfectly after baking. It's made a huge difference to our 'all-natural' range."
Eleanor Vance – Owner, The Painted Lady Bakery
The switch helped them confidently market their 'all-natural' bakes, contributing to a 15% increase in cupcake sales in the first quarter.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Before first use, give the bottle a good shake to ensure the natural pigment is evenly distributed.
- Carefully snip the very end of the nozzle; a smaller opening gives you more control.
- Always do a test drop on a spare bit of icing or a white plate to check the colour intensity.
- Start with one drop at a time and mix thoroughly before adding more – it’s easier to add than to take away!
Keeping It In Top Condition
- Store the bottle in a cool, dark cupboard away from direct sunlight to protect the natural colour.
- Wipe the nozzle clean after each use to prevent clogging and ensure a clean drop next time.
- Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly to keep the colouring fresh and prevent leaks.
- Keep an eye on the best-before date to ensure you're always working with the freshest product.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this PME natural green food colouring suitable for vegans?
A: Yes, this food colouring is made from 100% natural pigments and is free from animal-derived ingredients, making it suitable for vegan diets.
Q: Is it gluten-free?
A: Yes, PME natural food colourings are gluten-free and produced in an environment that handles no gluten.
Q: How do I achieve a really dark juniper green colour?
A: The key is to add the colour gradually. Add a few drops, mix completely, and then let it sit for a few minutes as the colour can deepen over time before deciding to add more.
Q: Will it affect the taste or texture of my icing?
A: No, it's formulated to be flavourless and its concentrated nature means you only need a small amount, so it won't alter the consistency of your buttercream or royal icing.
Q: Does this food colouring stain hands or surfaces?
A: Like all concentrated food colourings, it can stain. We recommend wearing gloves and protecting your work surfaces. If a spill happens, clean it up quickly with soap and water.
Q: Can I use this in an airbrush machine?
A: This colouring is a bit too viscous for most airbrush machines. It's best suited for direct mixing into batters, doughs, and icings.
Q: How much colouring do I need for an average 8-inch cake's buttercream?
A: It depends on the desired shade, but a good starting point is the suggested 1 teaspoon (around 5ml) per 250g of icing. Start with less and add more until you reach your perfect colour.
Q: How should I store the bottle once opened?
A: Keep it in a cool, dry, and dark place like a pantry or cupboard with the cap screwed on tightly. This will protect the natural colour and keep it fresh.

It saves time, reduces waste from colouring mistakes, and ultimately helps you deliver a high-quality product that your customers will trust and love, bake after bake.
