Carmine is a bright red colorant required the labor of hundreds of subjects combing the desert in search of the cochineal insect. The colorant is extracted from the bodies of female insects, which may contain from 10% to 20% of their dry weight of the color principle chemically called: carminic acid. It is estimated that about 25 million insects are required to make 32 pounds of water-soluble extract.
