The Crespel & Deiters Lory Crumb Colored range is a new series of colored crumbs formulated with recipe breading in mind to help transform recipes into visually striking foods for a sense of playfulness and whimsy. The breading crumbs come in green, yellow, pink, orange and white colors that are suited for being used individually or through a combination, and feature a color-stable formulation that won't bleed during preparation. The breading range boasts a neutral flavor that's suited for a number of plant-based applications, while also being applicable for meat, fish, poultry, cheese and vegetable uses.
Product Manager Birgit Wessner spoke on the Crespel & Deiters Lory Crumb Colored range saying, "Colored Crumbs give product developers and marketers a tool that helps attract attention and makes products stand out from the crowd. Colour becomes a communication tool for brands, occasions and target audiences. And because the natural colourants do not affect the flavour, such creative freedom does not require any recipe adjustments.”
