It is important to say that this products are not from chicken, therefore more ingredients had been added such as tetrasodium pyrophosphate, transglutaminase, and nisin. The main ingredient however and what really makes the product looks, feel and taste as a traditional egg is the aforementioned mung bean, a a bean commonly found throgout Asia and often used to make desserts.

However when we speak about adding color to respect all the terms of a Natural Plant Based product it must be a 100% Artificial Colors free product. Therefore, the most similar color to give a Yellow 5 or Tartrazine color is the Turmeric which is heat stable, acid stable and works fair with the light systems.
