Yellow food ideas
- For yellow fruit salad, chop up a selection of yellow fruit and mix in a bowl with a bit of fruit juice to prevent browning. Yellow fruits include bananas, apricots, pawpaw, mango, peaches, starfruit, lychees, and pineapple.
- Yellow jelly: buy a packet of jelly crystals, or for a fruitier version use yellow fruit juice (try pineapple juice) and unflavoured gelatin — the packet usually has instructions.
- Bananas wrapped in foil and baked or cooked on the barbecue will become very sweet. The skin will turn black but the fruit inside will be yellow. Serve with custard!
- Yellow birthday cake – try our butter cake recipe with lemon icing — delicious and yellow.
- Yellow vegetables include corn, squash, yellow zucchini, yellow capsicum/peppers, yellow tomatoes.
- Rice cooked with saffron or turmeric becomes a rich yellow or golden colour. These spices can also be added to curries.
- Yellow drinks include natural lemonade and pineapple juice. Yellow alcohol drinks and liqueurs for cocktails include Chartreuse and Galliano.
