Rainbow Dust - ProGel XXL
100 g Gel Food Coloring - Red - ProGel XXL
Concentrated gel food coloring, Red shade, professional 100 g format
ProGel XXL Red evokes a deep, cardinal ruby red. This concentrated gel food coloring in a professional 100 g format is designed for boutique bakeries and high-volume production workshops. ProGel's signature advantage: it is a general-purpose water- and oil-based coloring, working equally well with water-based mixtures (royal icing, water-based glazes, syrups, meringues) and fat-based mixtures (buttercream, ganache, tempered chocolate, cake fondant). One tube for the entire range of pastry applications, whereas some food colorings on the market require two separate ranges, one oil-soluble and the other water-soluble. The 100 g format is equivalent to approximately four 25 g tubes, with around 30 percent savings per gram: ideal for shops that regularly handle event orders.

Frequently asked questions
Why choose the ProGel XXL 100 g Red format instead of 25 g?
The XXL 100 g format is equivalent to approximately four 25 g tubes, with around 30 percent savings per gram. It is suitable for pastry shops that regularly handle event orders and for regular users of the Red shade. For occasional use, the corresponding 25 g tube is more suitable.
What dosage should I use for 250 g of mixture?
For a pastel shade, one toothpick tip is enough. For a bright shade, use 2 to 3 tips. For a dark, saturated shade, use 5 to 8 tips. It is always easier to intensify a color than to lighten it: it is best to start with a small amount and adjust.
Can this gel be mixed with melted chocolate?
Yes, ProGel is designed to work with tempered chocolate as well, unlike conventional water-based gel colorings, which cause chocolate to crystallize. Add a tip of gel at the end of tempering, at 28-30 °C, and gently mix it in with a spatula.
