Think of the juicy red colour of a strawberry and your mouth waters, the bright yellow of a lemon and you’re refreshed. The act of eating is a multi-sensory experience and how food looks is as important as how it’s prepared. In fact, it is often said that people enjoy their food with their eyes before tasting it with their tongue. It is no surprise then that the colour of food is as important as its taste.
We at Symega are awed by the colour spectrum offered by nature. And our wide range of all-natural colours, entirely derived from plant pigments, makes foods look great, naturally.
