Rainbow Dust - ProGel XXL
100 g Gel 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's an all-purpose coloring for water and oil, working equally well in 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 about 4 tubes of 25 g, with approximately 30 percent savings per gram: ideal for bakeries that regularly handle event orders.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
Why choose the ProGel XXL 100 g Red size instead of 25 g?
The 100 g XXL size is equivalent to about four 25 g tubes and offers savings of around 30 percent per gram. It's suitable for cake shops that regularly handle event orders and for regular users of the Red shade. For occasional use, the corresponding 25 g tube is a better fit.
How much should I use for 250 g of mixture?
For a pastel shade, use a small amount on the tip of a toothpick. For a bright shade, use 2 to 3 toothpick tips. For a dark, saturated shade, use 5 to 8 toothpick tips. It is always easier to intensify a color than to lighten it, so it's best to start with a small amount and adjust.
Does this gel mix with melted chocolate?
Yes, ProGel is designed to work with tempered chocolate too, unlike classic water-based gel colorings that cause chocolate to crystallize. Add a small amount of gel at the end of tempering, at 28-30 °C, and gently mix it in with a spatula.
