Lmao tho I thought he meant the color of the caramel?
Caramel doesn't use food dye either
It's just boiled sugar mixed with water
Food coloring can be added tho
food coloring can be added to anything, doesn't mean it's necessary.
Thus the reason why I assumed he meant that. It can be added to anything (even though it may not be necessary) and they were at a festival.
Are you saying that they dyed the caramel green? That's very odd. It's a possibility but I highly doubt it.
Yep possibly. It is a festival, after all.
They do that a lot during bon-odori. I used to live in Japan for a bit. They dye any sweets different colors. They are marketed to the kids after all. They even make pictures or intricate designs on their caramel apples.
I liked caramel apples the way they were when I was a kid. Why Japan always gotta be so extra all the time?
Maybe they have always done it like that in Japan ffs... How is dying sweets extra? It makes sense, and its smart. Idk where you live but caramelised apples in most places are dyed, the red is not natural.
They aren't red where I'm from, they're brown cause of the caramel. all of you are extra asf. Brown caramel apples are beautiful too!
The caramel was dyed green
Oh. Why?
Because its fun. Because making food into different colors is a festive tradition. The vendors do it to make their stores fit in to the festive theme. That's not a hard concept to grasp is it? Btw, Japans food dye is made from seaweed, crushes flowers or vegetables. They don't have the harsh chemicals like we have back in our food dye in the US, so they don't have to think twice about using food dye. So they get to enjoy food in different colors, and the food is technically is natural because there's no dangerous chemicals in them.
But some candy apples are. There are caramel apples, red candy apples, and green candy apples.
Green apples aren't made with food dye lol
