We all love Indian sweets — from the bright yellow ladoos to the rich orange jalebis.
But have you ever wondered how some sweets look too colorful to be natural?
That’s where artificial colors often come in.

Artificial food coloring can make sweets look attractive, but they may not always be safe or pure.
At Gaanvwala, we believe taste should come from real ingredients, not from chemicals.
Let’s understand how you can tell if the sweets you’re eating have artificial colors — and why Gaanvwala chooses to stay 100% natural.

How to Identify Sweets with Artificial Colors

There are a few simple signs that can help you spot sweets made with artificial coloring.

1. The Color Looks Too Bright or Uniform
   Natural colors — like those from saffron, turmeric, or beetroot — are usually soft and uneven.
   If your sweet is glowing like neon or has an overly consistent color, that’s a red flag.
2. Color Bleeds When You Touch or Eat It
   Try touching a small piece of the sweet with your fingers or napkin.
   If the color transfers easily, it’s likely made with artificial dye.
3. Strong Chemical Smell or Aftertaste
   Natural sweets smell like ghee, sugar, and dry fruits.
   If there’s a sharp or chemical-like aroma, it might be from synthetic coloring agents.
4. Very Long Shelf Life
   Artificially colored sweets often last longer because they contain stabilizers or additives.
   Pure, natural sweets — like those from Gaanvwala — have a shorter shelf life but a much fresher, cleaner taste.
5. Check the Label (If Packaged)
   If you’re buying packed sweets, check the ingredients.
   Look for words like FD&C, E102, or tartrazine — all of which are synthetic food colors.

Natural Colors in Gaanvwala Sweets

At Gaanvwala, we don’t use artificial food colors at all.
Instead, we use natural ingredients that bring out beautiful colors and add real flavor.

Here’s how we do it:

Saffron and Turmeric for golden hues in ladoos and halwas.

Beetroot and Rose Petals for pink or red tones.

Pistachio and Cardamom for natural green tints.

Jaggery and Caramelized Sugar for rich browns in traditional sweets.

Every shade you see in Gaanvwala sweets comes from nature — never from a chemical bottle.

Why Avoid Artificial Colors?

Artificial colors might make sweets look appealing, but they can cause:

Allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.

Digestive discomfort or headaches.

Harmful effects if consumed regularly in large amounts.

That’s why Gaanvwala believes in keeping things simple and pure — just milk, ghee, sugar, dry fruits, and natural flavoring.
