The red dye is attract hummingbirds, who (allegedly?) prefer red flowers for some reason.

Ironically, the OP has stumbled upon the truth of the (liquid) nutrients we use - they're sugar and/or salt water. The problem with trying to be a smarty pants on a site like this is we have peeps who have decades of experience and knowledge, people with degrees, commercial growers, etc Trying to demonstrate how smart you on RIU is a sure way to end up looking stupid.
Lol...."smarty pants" :bigjoint:

On a serious note, if you are interested in feeding your microbiome, consider malted barley powder. You can get it from brewery supply stores-get the whole grain 2 row barley malt and grind it yourself. It beats the hell out of sugar and has a ton of add on benefits beyond being a simple source of food for bacteria.
