This came up under a 'natural food coloring'search. I'm looking for something to bake with. Does this powder have a taste?

i've never used it as a food coloring but i tasted a little on my finger and it doesn't seem like it has much of a taste.

I didn't use it for myself, but I did taste it a little. I think it smelled like egg and tasted a little bit salty. I cannot tell you if it would be good for making eggnog or not, mostly because I never make or drink any eggnog. Sorry.

It taste really good! It's a vanilla flavor. A lot of people relate it to a cake mix type of taste.

I think it works better than powder - no paste-like residue. It's more like the consistency of sugar than flour

I like to use it to flavor frosting. It is better that jarred pb since it won't make it so oily, It is a lighter flavour. I also like to mix the powder with cinnamon and dip apple slices in it. It's also pretty as a varnish, like in place of powdered sugar:) .

It is a dry powder that you mix with water. I've not tried to bake with it, but if you mixed up the PB2 to the amount you would use, it would be just like peanut butter you would get from a jar.... but without all the fat as regular peanut butter.

I agree with Laureen. It has a great, cheesy flavor! If you are considering purchasing this powder, I highly recommend t!

Try it from your store first if you have doubts. My experience is that it has a whole grain texture. I like it.

Let's see. It has a distinct wax overtone, stong body, light mouthfeel, small hints of citrus and green pepper, almost reminiscent of a good New Zealand chardonnay. Very little aftertase, but a slight tingling sensation in the throat, and, wait, fingers - pronounced shortness of breath, uh oh, ... HRRRRK ... &lt;thud&gt; ... Seriously, I have no clue. It smells a little petroleum-y. I wouldn't use it on food or on serious food-prep surfaces, but that's just me. EDIT: Looked into it - the MSDS says it's up to half petroleum distillates. Makes sense as 100% wax would probably be pretty hard and you wouldn't be able to spread it around with a sponge so easily. So minimize contact with food. And I don't recommend eating it. There's better things to spread on a cracker.

It should not taste bitter. It should have a very mild flavor. You may want to return the shipment.

That is a very interesting use for this. It is small black pebble-like pieces that would not fly off like powder, but it does get powdery and it does make a mess. I agree with the other reviewers about using the baking powder.

It has a pleasant vanilla-like taste. If you're looking to add this to savory dishes (i.e. beef-free meatballs) I would NOT recommend it. It does taste great mixed into oatmeal however :)

No, this is more like granulated sugar, perhaps even a slightly larger grain than common table sugar but melts slightly faster in your mouth. I haven't tried using it for baking or cooking, only as part of a dental mouth rinse in conjunction with Closys. I don't know what these wackos are saying in the other responses, this is straight up granulated and not powdery in the least. You could always try throwing it into a blender/processor/herb-or-coffee grinder to get it powdery, though. Even still, frostings can utilize granulated sugar so long as you allow it time or temperature to melt.

It is a tasteless powder. When I get home, I'll list the ingredients for you.

It tends to clump a little when it gets wet - so mix well. I put the unflavored in muffins mixes, cake mixes, cookies, brownies. No one has any idea! It doesnt alter the taste.Stay healthy everyone! :)

It definitely has a texture. If they don't like texture, they will not like this powder. Sorry, hope you can find something they will like!

I am a pastry chef, so I do have some things you want to consider. You can use this by rehydrating the powder, as per directions, but the lack of fat (oils,moisture) is going to affect the texture. You should adjust the rest of the recipe by adding something that will bring moisture to the recipe and something that also acts as a tenderizer. If you just want to add it to a recipe that does not call for peanut butter, but you want the flavor, you won't have to worry too much about that.
