It’s fairly common practice in the ice cream industry to add food coloring to certain flavors as a way to render it more visually attractive to the consumer. Would you eat mint chocolate chip ice cream if it weren’t colored green? The trend towards a more natural pistachio ice cream experience has started to pick up some speed, and we’re definitely here for it. A true pistachio ice cream will have hints of green as well as a nutty-brown, which is exactly what a pistachio nut looks like. Authenticity in flavor AND appearance makes ice cream taste even better. So to make it familiar to consumers, ice cream makers will add food coloring and or chemicals in order to give it that pistachio-green color.īut it’s not natural for pistachio ice cream to be bright green! While pistachio ice cream without an added food color will still taste like pistachio, the green color is added only to give us the visual cue that what we’re eating is pistachio. The color is more brown than green, and – let’s be honest – it can be hard to sell a pistachio ice cream that’s brown. But, once pistachios are processed to make the ice cream, they’re not actually green anymore. We’re all familiar with that pop of green that is so distinctively “pistachio” in color. Have you ever wondered why the color of pistachio and mint chocolate chip ice cream is such an exaggerated shade of green? What color should your scoop of pistachio or mint chocolate chip ice cream actually be?
But there are some debates in the world of ice cream, and we’re looking at one of them now: green ice cream. And with so many different flavors to choose from, there’s truly something for everyone. When it comes to ice cream, we all have our favorite flavors and combinations.
