You can dye Easter eggs not only with purchased food colors or onion skins. There are other harmless but effective ways to color eggs at home.
Instructions
Step 1
Blue or light blue.
Use a head of red cabbage. Pre-boil the cabbage. The longer you keep the eggs in the broth, the richer their color will be. Blueberries, frozen in a bag, added instead of dye, will give the eggs a subtle purple hue.
Step 2
Orange or yellow.
Add 3 tablespoons to the water. dried turmeric (or paprika) and 1 tsp. vinegar. If you want to give the eggs a light yellow tint, then it is enough to hold them for 5 minutes, but if they are dark orange, then keep the eggs until the water cools completely.
Step 3
Green.
It is obtained by adding fresh spinach. If you use frozen spinach, you get a delicate beige shade.
Step 4
Red.
Boil one beet for 50-60 minutes with the addition of 1 tsp. vinegar. The result is a bright red hue.
