Green Coloring

Natural chlorophyll coloring degrades rapidly and is best used immediately. If necessary, the extracted green liquid can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours, though color will fade. Press plastic wrap directly on the surface to minimize oxidation.

Fresh chlorophyll coloring does not store well due to rapid oxidation. For longer storage (up to 1 week), blanch leaves for 30 seconds before pounding to deactivate enzymes, though this will slightly alter the color tone. Freeze in ice cube trays for up to 1 month, but expect significant color loss.
