Colour of the heart

I can't help falling in love with bright coloured veggies. I bought a bunch of beetroot so fresh and beautiful at the farmer market one weekend and found my mood going wild with the colours of this proud creature. Why on earth is there such a creature fully endowed with good qualities and beauty like beetroot? Look at its juice:

Only one ridiculous thing about this heavy colour is it is  very hard to wash it away from your hand after you play hard with it :) I'm kidding ain't me?
Evidently it is a dye robust enough to induce a new hue and to transform your taste of colour:

There was a long way from its original colour to where it became to in my dyed rice, which taught me the lesson of heat, proportion and cooking time in cooking.

I also learnt about "reaction" colours when making the cupcakes. The juice and icing sugar plus butter became more pinkish at first than after being put on the cupcake.

 
It is this hue and the process it transforms that is keeping inspiring me.
