A sweet sour or Harvard sauce does more than just add flavor to beets. Acid sauces help keep the color bright red. Much of the beauty of fruits and vegetables comes from the colors And most fruits and vegetables have one of four basic types of coloring pigments These pigments are sensitive. Some are destroyed by acids, some by alkalis. So cooking methods are very important if you’re going to preserve brilliant, true colors. Potatoes, cauliflower and onions may seem to be colorless foods. But they’re white because of their anthoxanthine pigments In alkaline cooking water, these vegetables turn a creamy yellow.
