ProGel
Gel Coloring 25g - Green Leaf / Green - ProGel
Green Leaf gel food coloring, concentrated 25g bottle
ProGel Green Leaf evokes spring oak leaf, classic natural green. This concentrated gel food coloring in 25 g size is designed for professional pastry chefs and demanding cake design enthusiasts. Especially sought after for wedding cakes with rustic and garden themes and royal icing cookies shaped like leaves or plant crowns, it offers a stable and intense shade with just a few toothpick tips.
The signature advantage of ProGel: it is a generalist water and oil dye, working equally well on water-based bases (royal icing, water glazes, syrups, meringues, macarons) and fat-based bases (buttercream, ganache, tempered chocolate, pastry fondant, sugar paste). One tube for the entire pastry range, whereas Colour Mill dyes require 2 separate ranges (lipo + hydro). Concentrated 25 g size covers 30 to 50 preparations depending on the desired intensity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between ProGel and Colour Mill?
ProGel is a generalist 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 fatty bases) and water-soluble (for aqueous bases). ProGel offers versatility in one 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 25g tube covers about 30 to 50 preparations of 250 g depending on the desired intensity. For boutique pastries in regular production, the 25g format is the most economical artisan size.
How to avoid contaminating the tube?
Always use a new toothpick for each sample, never dip a toothpick that has been in the preparation back in. This discipline preserves the tube's lifespan and the gel's purity.
