Why Cuban kitchens use bean coloring
Authentic Cuban-American restaurant red beans have a deeper, richer red than home-cooked beans often achieve. Restaurants use a small amount of coloring to enhance the natural color and make the dish look as appetizing as it tastes. Home cooks who want that restaurant-quality color reach for Marliss.
Red vs Black bean coloring
The Marliss Black Bean Coloring is for frijoles negros and Cuban black bean dishes. Buy both if you cook the full Cuban bean repertoire.
