I will only be eating red-colored foods for 24 hours.

So we're getting to the end of the rainbow here.

Red is a color that a lot of you have been requesting,

so I figured now is the time to finally make it happen.

As per usual, I will only be making and eating foods

that are naturally colored red, and hopefully,

I will be able to create these red-themed dishes

that are both visually satisfying and also very appetizing.

Because of safety reasons,

I will be doing most of my shopping online,

but I really wanted to stop by the grocery store

just to see if there's anything cool.

So let's go shopping really quickly.

Pomegranate.

Let's see.

Apples here.

I'm just gonna pick one.

Raspberries.

Red pepper.

Beef.

No artificial coloring.

Red bean.

Good morning, everyone.

It is a new day.

I am in my red-colored shirt.

It is more of a maroon, kind of like the color of red wine.

I am ready to start off my red color day.

For some reason, it feels like I'm celebrating Valentine's,

but here we go.

I have some red dragon fruit.

This is truly one of my favorite fruits.

I think it's really popular

for people to put it in their smoothie bowls now

because of its vibrant color.

I have this pear

that is actually a beautiful red on the outside.

Some raspberries, some strawberries, some salami,

a cranberry cheese, red pepper jelly.

You can see that it's literally a bright red.

It doesn't use any artificial coloring.

I think the red mainly comes from the sweet red pepper.

It's supposed to go well on cheese and meats,

so I'm excited to test it out.

I'm just going to wash the fruit really quickly.

It's already looking super red.

I love it.

Also going to slice up my dragon fruit.

Look at this color. Wow.

This is also why some people use red dragon fruit

as a natural dye, because look at how pigmented it is.

The same thing with my berries.

Pear.

Open this cheese.

Okay, I definitely smell the cranberries.

So I know this isn't completely red,

but I think it qualifies to a certain extent.

Whoa.

This... it smells super pungent.

Wow. It is spicy.

It smells so spicy.

I think I'm smelling the vinegar,

so there's that huge sour note.

It is literally a bright red.

Scoop it out like that.

This is kind of the texture.

I am now going to put this on top of my cheese,

and then I should be done.

Breakfast is served.

You can see the strawberries here,

the red dragon fruit, the raspberry.

On this side, you'll be able to see the pear of the bottom,

the salami, the cheese, and then the red pepper jelly.

It looks more like a charcuterie board.

but I don't think that's a bad thing.

Let's dig in.

Let's try that.

It's like a burst of berry flavor.

If you've never tried red dragon fruit,

I cannot recommend it enough.

It has more of a neutral flavor, I feel,

so it complements every other fruit that you have it with.

I'm gonna go ahead and try my little creation here

with the pear, salami, cranberry cheese, and jelly.

I still smell the red pepper jelly.

Oh my God.

It's actually pretty good.

The jelly is not spicy.

The cheese is super, super creamy.

A little bit of savoriness from the salami.

It had that tartness from the pear.

I'm gonna try the jelly by itself.

Huh.

It's a very, very faint spiciness

at the back of your throat.

I'm mainly getting a sweet and sour flavor.

I honestly just feel like I'm having a fancy cheeseboard

in one bite.

Everything kind of just works out.

That was really enjoyable.

So I'm gonna finish up what's left on my plate.

There's really not much left.

I might pop out a little bit later

to get a bottle of red wine for lunch.

See you guys then.

Just got my bottle of wine,

so I'm heading back home now to start working on lunch.

I have my bottle of red wine right here.

Red-colored foods immediately made me think of tomato sauce,

which is one of my go-to pasta sauces.

So that's what I'll be making today.

I tried to keep it simple this time,

so there's only a few ingredients.

Canned tomatoes here.

I love the fire-roasted ones.

Tomato paste.

This is the key ingredient to making it super red.

Red onion, red bell pepper, apple for sweetness.

This pasta that's made out of beets.

Tuna.

I am not entirely sure

how I'm going to incorporate this into my meal yet.

I'll find a way to put this in there.

And of course, I also have my red wine.

I feel like this meal should be pretty good.

I am missing some of my usual ingredients,

like my herbs and garlic,

but I think I should be able to make this work.

Gonna start off by cooking this pasta.

Almost like a purplish red.

Once it hit the water,

it immediately became this super pretty red.

It looks like Twizzlers.

Let's start cutting up my vegetables.

I know some of you might be thinking

that it's really weird to add apple into your sauces,

but I do do it sometimes,

usually for stews and soups

because I like the natural sweetness it adds.

So I'm doing a little bit of experimenting today.

I'm gonna go ahead and toss them in the pan.

And add the tomato paste.

Tomato.

This is beginning to look like a sauce already.

I'm just gonna go ahead and add some paprika,

as well as some cayenne pepper.

Now to add in my wine.

I have some pasta water.

It's super red as well.

So I'm just gonna add that back in.

It's looking good.

Toss my pasta in here.

As for what I'm smelling right now,

I'm just getting a lot of red wine and tomato.

I may have put more wine than I intended.

And for my tuna,

I'm just going to sear it as a whole and then slice it up.

Still perfectly red on the inside.

I like that we can still see the red meat.

For those of you who are concerned,

I promise this piece of fish is safe to eat raw,

so don't worry.

The pasta is pretty much done.

I'm just going to make a drink really quick,

just some watermelon juice.

So I'm gonna blend up some fresh watermelon

and then I'm ready to eat.

This is my red lunch for the day.

It is super red, which I'm really happy about.

Tuna on the top with a little bit of radish.

Pasta itself just looks so red

that it's almost a little bit intimidating.

And I also have my watermelon juice.

I am just going to go ahead and take a big bite of this.

So good.

I was a little skeptical because I'm usually somebody

who's super heavy on the garlic,

but there's still a lot of flavor.

The red wine is a really great addition.

It adds a lot of depth.

Really strong, peppery smell.

Peppery as in red bell pepper.

Look at this tuna.

Isn't it so beautiful?

I don't know if it pairs the best with pasta,

but I enjoy tuna a lot just as it is.

My watermelon juice is so refreshing.

I am really enjoying this meal.

Surprisingly, I didn't know red-colored food

would be the one that would give me this much enjoyment.

Now I'm gonna turn off the cameras

and finish the rest of my meal slowly.

Check back in later.

It's around 4:00 PM right now.

I am just sitting on the couch

to rest for a little bit, mostly to rest my eyes.

But I figured now it'd be a good time to eat some snacks.

I found this at H Mart yesterday.

It is basically a savory snack

that is similar to ddeokbokki,

which is just Korean rice cakes, but in chip form.

The red pigment mainly comes from paprika

and red chili paste.

It looks so similar to a rice cake,

but not like Flamin' Hot Cheetos kind of bright red.

It smells like a fry.

Mm.

It's like much more on the sweeter side

than I was expecting, which is probably why I like it.

Ooh, okay. There is a bit of a spice afterwards.

It kind of hits you out of nowhere.

I really miss being able to go around the office

and make everybody else try this.

Before I finish that whole bag,

I also have this other treat.

It says "SWEET RICE CAKE" on the package,

also known as dango.

This one specifically is made with red bean.

Ooh. Ahh.

I should have saved this for dessert.

Here's what it looks like.

The red bean's kind of squished

I'm a huge fan of that QQ chewy texture,

and the red bean is just right for the sweetness.

These are some great snacks.

And I'll save the rest for later.

Definitely feeling more energized

now that I have some more fuel in my system,

I am now going to work a little bit more,

and then soon, I'll get started on preparing dinner.

And I don't want to jinx it,

but I feel like it's been a pretty good day so far.

Dinnertime is just around the corner,

so I am back in the kitchen.

Also, I was thinking for red-colored foods,

considering how many spicy things there are

under this category,

maybe I should try to make a very spicy dish.

So that's what I'm gonna be doing for this meal.

I have some beef over here, red potatoes,

harissa, which is a Tunisian hot chili pepper paste.

So it has a lot of flavor in it.

It is this really vivid red.

And since I'm stepping up the spice game,

I have a bunch of Thai red chilies here.

They may be the death of me.

Gochujang, which is Korean hot pepper paste.

And you can see the edges, how bright that is.

I also found this red rice.

I've heard of red rice,

but I've never had the opportunity to taste it,

so today is the day.

I also have some gochugaru,

which is just some Korean red pepper powder,

and this thing is usually what gives that huge fiery kick.

I'll be a little heavy-handed on this today.

I think the plan for dinner is essentially for me

to make a very spicy meat and potato stew.
