Frequently Asked Questions
What natural sources are used to color these sprinkles?
The rainbow colors come from spirulina, riboflavin, turmeric, beta carotene, beet root, and other vegetable juices rather than synthetic FD&C dyes.
Do these sprinkles fit a clean eating lifestyle?
Yes. They are formulated without artificial colors, corn syrup, or gluten, and use recognizable plant-based ingredients that align with clean eating values.
Are these sprinkles safe for someone with a red dye sensitivity?
Yes. With no FD&C artificial dyes in the formula, they are a common choice for people who react to synthetic red dyes.
Will the natural colors fade when I bake with them?
Customers report that the colors hold their vibrancy through baking and do not noticeably fade, even on cookies and brownies that go in the oven.
Can I use these on a yogurt parfait or smoothie bowl?
Absolutely. They are a popular topping for yogurt parfaits, smoothie bowls, and homemade ice cream, adding crunch and color without artificial ingredients.
Is this a good sprinkle for someone following a gluten free diet?
Yes. The formula is gluten free, making it suitable for finishing gluten free baked goods, cookies, and desserts.
Are these sprinkles okay for a kosher kitchen?

How do these compare to other natural sprinkles on the market?
Customers frequently note that Watkins offers the brightest naturally colored sprinkles they have tried, with a more vibrant rainbow than many competing natural options.
I am trying to clean up my ingredient panel, will this help?
Swapping conventional sprinkles for these is one of the easiest clean-up wins, because you replace artificial colors with ingredients like beet root and spirulina that you can actually pronounce.
Do these contain corn syrup?
No. The formula is corn syrup free, which is a meaningful difference for many clean eating and allergen conscious bakers.
Is the round bead shape better than traditional straight sprinkles for plating desserts?
Many home bakers and dessert decorators prefer the round nonpareil shape for its clean, uniform look on plated desserts and its pleasant crunchy texture.
Can I add these to pancake batter without losing the color?
Yes, you can add them to pancake batter. For the most vibrant look, fold them in at the pouring stage right before the batter hits the pan so the colors stay bold.
I avoid synthetic additives, is there anything artificial in the ingredients?
The colors are all naturally sourced, and the formula is intentionally built around recognizable plant-based ingredients rather than synthetic additives.
Is this suitable for a wellness focused dessert bar at a gathering?
Yes. They are a popular choice for dessert plating stations at wellness focused events, where guests appreciate the natural color story and clean label.
Do these sprinkles pair well with natural food coloring for coordinated decorating?
Yes. They are designed to pair with Watkins food coloring, so you can coordinate your frosting and sprinkle palette using all natural colors throughout the whole dessert.
Will the crunchy texture hold up after the sprinkles sit on a frosted cake overnight?
Yes, the round nonpareils hold their crunch on frosting and do not melt into the batter or dissolve, even when left on a cake overnight in the fridge.
How do I use these sprinkles on cupcakes and baked goods?
Simply sprinkle them onto freshly frosted or iced cupcakes, donuts, cookies, or brownies. They hold their crunch and color best when added after baking and frosting rather than mixed into batter that will be cooked.
Can I bake these sprinkles into cookies or cake batter?
Yes, you can fold them into batter, and the colors are reported to hold their vibrancy even after baking. For pancakes, add them at the pouring stage right before the batter hits the pan for the boldest color.
What is the best way to store the jar after opening?
Keep the lid tightly sealed and store in a cool, dry place at room temperature. The glass jar helps protect the sprinkles from moisture and keeps them crunchy between baking sessions.
Are these sprinkles compatible with Watkins food coloring for matching colors?
Yes, they are designed to pair with Watkins food coloring, so you can coordinate frosting and sprinkles using all natural colors throughout the whole dessert.
Can I use these sprinkles to decorate dog treats?
Yes, customers use them to decorate homemade dog treats. The ingredients are simple and the 4.2 oz jar is generous, so you get plenty of sprinkles for multiple batches of dog friendly baking.
What is included in the jar when I order it?
You receive one 4.2 oz reusable glass jar of Watkins Gourmet Decorating Sprinkles in the Rainbow Nonpareils variety, packed in the USA. No additional tools or accessories are required to start using them.
Are these sprinkles safe for people with common food allergies?
The formula is gluten free, corn syrup free, kosher certified, and free from artificial FD&C dyes, which covers several common concerns. Always review the full ingredient panel on the jar for any personal sensitivities.
How long do these sprinkles stay fresh after opening?
Because the ingredients are dry and the jar is resealable, the sprinkles stay fresh and crunchy for a long time when stored with the lid closed in a cool, dry pantry.
What is the difference between nonpareils and traditional sprinkles?
Nonpareils are tiny round beads, while traditional sprinkles are elongated stick shaped pieces. Many bakers prefer the uniform round shape for a cleaner look, easier sprinkling, and a lighter crunch on desserts.
