Naturally colored Easter Eggs?

[Anonymous]

I colored eggs with curcuma. I boiled the eggs in water and added it.

Do you color eggs?

I don't want to use chemicals. Chemistry won't vanish. It goes in the water & the ground, the plants & animals and back to our body.

I have not colored eggs since I was very young. I believe the coloring came from tablets that were dropped in vinegar, so they were undoubtedly made of food coloring.

[Asker]

Right. In the medieval age they used nature for colors. So back to the roots. Why not using what you maybe have and don't need to buy?

[Asker]

I guess last time was 20 years ago. Was spontaneously.

[bowenw]

Using natural coloring makes perfect sense to me. In the unlikely event I color eggs again, I will do it the natural way.

[Asker]

Happy to hear this.

Thank you for the MHO. 😊
Have a happy Easter. 🐰 🐣

that does sound like a good idea...

we used to buy natural dyes

[Asker]

Onions, turmeric maybe you have at home. Beets... well you need fresh. So you needn't to buy.

[NathanDavis]

I love naturally dyed eggs 🌈
Turmeric, like you used, gives that beautiful warm yellow. I also simmer eggs with red onion skins for deep brick red, purple cabbage for blue, beetroot for soft pink and spinach or parsley for light green.

I usually add a splash of vinegar to help the color set and let the eggs sit in the cooled dye for richer tones.

[Iron_Man]

You boil the eggs first then you put them in Easter egg coloring, dye

[Asker]

Nope, why waiting? I added the turmeric and then I start boiling. So the contact with they eggs is longer.

[Asker]

And of course a splash of vinegar.

[Iron_Man]

We do it the American traditional way

[Asker]

Oh thats not traditional German way. I don't think much people use natural colors as I did. It was very successful with turmeric = yellow. I used powder.

[Asker]

Wanted to try out. I did 6 eggs so I don't know if I want to color again. With another color.

[Asker]

I don't have one to share and Noone who shares with me Easter. I miss this family time.

[Iron_Man]

Are you German? I can try to send you videos, but I was a child since I last did this

[Asker]

Yes :♧
