I would have never guessed that I would have been 31 years old before I found out that ground up beetles were used to color
yogurt. But here we are. . .
This is not a joke: there are ground up red beetles being used right now as a food coloring ingredient in yogurt, ice cream, juice drinks and many other grocery products. The ingredient is called "carmine."
Further proof that there is a near infinite array of things out there that you
don't know.
