The Secret Behind the Color: How we use vegetables to tint our dough naturally.

The first thing you notice about a Muma empanada isn't the smell (though that’s pretty great); it’s the color. In a world of begie food, our display case looks like a garden.

We get asked a lot: "Are those colors real?" The answer is a loud yes. At Muma, we believe in "no filters"—in life and in our food. We don't rely on lab-made dyes to make our food look good. We go straight to the source: nature.

The Green (Spinach): Our signature green dough isn't a gimmick; it’s packed with real spinach. We blend dehydrated spinach right into the flour mix. It adds that vibrant emerald hue and an earthy, fresh undertone that perfectly balances rich fillings like ricotta or chicken.

The Pink/Purple (Beet): That bold magenta color comes from one of our favorite root vegetables: the beet. Roasted and dehydrated, beets provide a stunning natural dye and It doesn't add any flavor to our recipes.

The yellow (curcuma) : We use turmeric powder to give our dough color and freshness. Like all the previous ones, the vegetables don't contribute any flavor.

Why go through the extra effort? Because we believe that "real food" means ingredients you can recognize. The color isn't just for show; it's a promise that you are eating something authentic, vibrant, and made with energy.
