ProGel XXL
Gel Colorant 100g - Green (Green Leaf) - ProGel XXL
Gel food coloring in Green shade, professional 100g size
ProGel XXL Green evokes Dutch leaf green, spring meadow. This concentrated gel food coloring in professional 100 g size is designed for boutique pastry shops and volume production workshops. Especially sought after for production of rustic and nature-themed wedding cakes in series and jungle-themed royal icing cookies for children's birthday parties in large volume, it combines the technical advantages of classic ProGel gel with a size designed for profitability in professional settings.
ProGel's signature advantage: it is a universal water and oil-based dye, working equally well on water-based bases (royal icing, water glazes, syrups, meringues) and fat-based bases (buttercream, ganache, tempered chocolate, pastry fondant). One tube for the entire pastry range, whereas Colour Mill dyes require 2 separate ranges (lipo + hydro). The 100 g size equals about 4 tubes of 25 g with approximately 30% savings per gram. Ideal for pastry shops that regularly place event orders.

Instructions for use

- Rest and stabilization: cover in contact and let rest for 15 to 30 minutes. The shade develops and fully reveals itself during rest.

Patissland Tip - Green XXL
The ProGel XXL Green (Green Leaf) is versatile: it works for rustic wedding cakes, children's jungle birthday cakes, tiered cakes, and year-end decorations. For pastry shops that place regular orders, the 100g size costs 30% less per gram than the 25g tubes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose the ProGel XXL 100g Green size rather than 25g?
The XXL 100 g size is designed for professional production: it is equivalent to about 4 tubes of 25 g with approximately 30% savings per gram. Ideal for pastry shops that regularly place event orders, cake design workshops in training, or regular users of the Green color. For occasional use, the classic 25 g size remains more suitable.
What is the difference between ProGel and Colour Mill?
ProGel is a general-purpose water and oil gel: it works on all preparations (royal icing, buttercream, chocolate, ganache, fondant, sugar paste). Colour Mill comes in 2 separate ranges: liposoluble (for fat-based) and hydrosoluble (for water-based). ProGel offers versatility in a single tube, Colour Mill offers optimal coloring by base type.
What dosage for 250 g of preparation?
For pastel shades: 1 toothpick tip. For bright shades: 2 to 3 tips. For dark shades: 5 to 8 tips. Always start with less and adjust gradually; it's easier to intensify than to lighten.
Does ProGel gel mix with melted chocolate?
Yes, ProGel is designed to also work with tempered chocolate, unlike classic water-based gel colorants that cause chocolate to crystallize. Add a tip of gel at the end of tempering, at 28-30°C, and gently mix with a spatula.
How many colored preparations per tube?
One ProGel 100g tube covers about 120 to 180 preparations of 250 g depending on the desired intensity. For boutique pastries in regular production, the 100g size remains cost-effective.
How to avoid contaminating the tube?
Always use a new toothpick for each sample, never dip a toothpick back into the preparation. This discipline preserves the tube's lifespan and the gel's purity.
