What Food Scientists Know That You Don’t — Part 2

Описание: Think you know what’s in your food? 🍓🥩🥚 Think again.

As a food scientist, I see the grocery store differently — because even ordinary foods hide secrets that most people never notice.

In this video, I’m revealing the science behind things like red food dye (yes, it might come from bugs 🐞), what egg yolk color really means, and why those little plastic bread tags actually tell you more than you think.

✅ Is red yogurt colored with strawberries?
Not necessarily. Even though the label might show fruit images or say “naturally colored,” the red in many yogurts, candies, or drinks can come from a natural dye called carmine, which is made from crushed cochineal insects. It’s approved for use and considered natural because it’s derived from an animal source.
✅ Is a dark orange yolk healthier?
Not really. While it looks richer and more nutritious, yolk color has nothing to do with how healthy the egg is. It simply reflects what the hen was fed.
✅ What does the color of a bread tab tell you?
More than you think! That tiny plastic tag (or twist tie) isn’t just for sealing the bag — it’s part of a color-coded system that tells you which day the bread was baked. Blue is Monday, green is Tuesday, red is Thursday, white is Friday, and yellow is Saturday.
