Natural green food coloring is easy to make at home: All you need is fresh spinach leaves! I use natural green food coloring to color mint chocolate chip ice cream, custard, sugar hearts and sugar sprinkles green. And don’t worry natural green food coloring doesn’t taste spinachy, it just tastes fresh!
Natural Green Food Coloring With Fresh Spinach
You’ll need:
- fresh spinach leaves *
- mortar and pestle
- fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth
* You need fresh spinach leaves to extract spinach juice. I tried it, it doesn’t work with frozen spinach.
Pound the fresh spinach leaves in a mortar.
Strain the pounded spinach leaves through a fine mesh sieve to extract the vibrant green spinach juice.
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing with SYC.

Thanks for stopping by, Helen! 🙂 Have a great week too!
I’m so happy to find this – sometimes I would so love to give a pale green tint to something, but I’m dead-set against food coloring – and here’s a perfectly healthy, natural way to do it!
Thanks so much, Jean! 😀 I’m glad you like it!
