Colorful Easter eggs can easily be dyed with natural colors from fruit and vegetables.

Red cabbage

Intense blue: Clean the eggs, remove the stamp color with scouring milk. Chop the red cabbage and boil in 1 liter of water for approx. 30 min. Place the hard, still warm eggs in the stock for approx. 10 mins.

Beet

Reddish-pink: Place hard-boiled eggs in vinegar water, the color will last longer. Heat the beet juice from the jar and pieces of fruit, leave the eggs in the stock for 5-10 minutes.

White onions

Yellowish color: Chop the whole onion, boil in 1 liter of water for approx. 30 min. Place the eggs in the stock for 10 mins. If you pass the stock through a sieve, the coloring will be more even.

Blueberries

Lilac to purple: chop up 1 pack of frozen blueberries, boil in 1 liter of water for approx. 30 min. Add the hard-boiled eggs. The longer they remain in the stock, the more intense the color will be.

Red onions

Greenish coloring: Chop onions with skin, boil in 1 liter of water for approx. 40 min. Leave the eggs to cool, rub with cooking oil and a cloth. Gives a great shine.
