These days, I don't want to eat anything.
(....No no no, I often eat ice cream and chocolate and drink something cold a lot.)
I will be sick in the near future:-P
Please help me!!!
Today, I want to talk about color of food!!!
I love color!! I get excited when I see colorful or vivid things.
I would like to study color. (but I haven't studied it at all)
In fact, we get messages from color of food.
I think I may get motivation when I eat red kimchi.
Red: gives Passion, Fighting Spirit, motivation
so it is useful before a game or an important event??
(Tomato, Red Pepper, Apple etc.)
Pink: is the image color of Love, Softness, Tenderness
so it is good when you cook dish for someone you love??
(Peach, Salmon, shrimp etc.)
Orange: gives Vitality and Hapiness
Orange food makes you feel like eating a lot or communicating someone
(Orange, Carrot, Pumpkin etc.)
Yellow: gives Confidence
it is useful when you want to be refleshed or reduce stress
(Lemon, Egg, Corn etc.)
Green: is the image color of Nature and Healthiness
it is good when you want to relax or when you are busy
(Lettuce, Cucumber, Kiwi etc.)
Violet: is the image color of Nobleness
Violet food is good when you want to get inspiration or think something deeply
(Egg plant, Purple potato, Blueberry etc.)
Blue: is the image color of Peace and Trust
(There may be no Blue food around us)
I have heard blue spoils our appetite.
Then, it is good for people who want to lose weight to wear sunglasses whose lenses are blue.
I may get some massages from food without noticing, and I thought I can use food color in order to express my feeling. When I want to build good relation with someone again after a quarrel, eating green dish with that person might be helpful.

Sweets are usually colorful. Amrican food is colorful.
However, it is not good to have colorful food which contains a lot of food additives.You should enjoy natural food color like fruits and vegetables.
In fact, I like vivid and crazy color food used much coloring.
Besides, I get energy from it because it is so cute!
So, so I enjoy just watching it and I don't eat it.
Ummm, I need Yellow food now because I'm under a lot of stress of job hunting!!!!
Tomorrow, I had better bite the whole lemon.
You also have experience you got energy from color.
What color of food do you need now???

Hello,

Your story about Color of food was very interesting!
The colorful vegetables looks so fresh and delicious.
However, the colorful pancake does not for me.
I think natural color is better.
artificial color could be not good for health.
Thank you

Hi MARU!
返信削除I'M YUNA:)
your pictures of your blog were so catchy!!
and the too colorful pan-cake was shocking;)
After I read your blog, I realized that I got energy from food so much! I always eat tomato especially hot day. So it might work for my daily work. tomato gave us lots of energy, doesn't it?
Also, as Sesshy said in her comment, I've heard that blue is not suit on the food to eat. but I found one exception that we will naturally remnds blue food when we want to make us cool. For example, we often drink "ramune" at summer festival. The color of it is also blue!it's interesting, isn't it?
This summer is going to be hardest time for us. So let's find more blue food and beats summer!!
Hello, maru. I'm Maiko ;)
返信削除Your topic is very interesting!
I surprised the colorful pancake.
The color of food is made by its nutrient and where they grew up. But there are a lot of meaning...
I think this theory can use our cooking for someone. I would like to take Pink to my best friends and Yellow to cheer up them if they depressed.
I learned and enjoyed your blog!
Thank you^^♥
Hi Hiromi, this is Megumi.
返信削除I think most of people need yellow or green, Japanese is too trying hard :(
How is your job-hunting? Trying hard is good but without relaxing, you will be sick.
So eat something and get energy.
Ganbatte! ;)
