VERSATILE YELLOW BEANS

This Thai dessert, which is shaped similar to various kind of fruits is made from sweetened yellow bean paste, and food colourings. The shine comes from a glaze made of agar.

There are two types of food colouring: natural and artificial.
If I'm not sure which one has been used to colour the food, I just don't eat it (which happens most of the time) but I still find it extremely pleasant to look at.

It is a combination between crafting and cooking.

These fruit miniatures remind of the ones out of marzipan that you can find in Europe, but not as sweet.
