Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in plants and algae that plays a critical role in photosynthesis, allowing plants to absorb light energy from the sun. In the food context, chlorophyll contributes to the vibrant green colour of many vegetables and herbs, and it is valued for its nutritional and potential health benefits. Chlorophyll is used as a natural food colouring and is also consumed in supplements and extracts for its purported health benefits.
