Colored eggs are closely associated with Easter and celebrations. As this period approaches, the desire for this tradition grows stronger and all households rush to supply eggs and the necessary "tools" for their coloring. So, don't leave it for the last minute, because you might run out.

According to this tradition, eggs are colored 3 days before Easter Sunday, specifically on Holy Thursday. The most common color we encounter on these eggs is none other than red, as it is closely connected to Easter. However, in recent years, we also see various variations from house to house and from place to place, such as blue, yellow, green, and multicolored eggs, which children love very much.

How to dye eggs with ready-made dye?

Let's see how you can easily dye eggs at home for the Easter table with dye from the market.

• First, the eggs should be boiled in gentle heat to avoid breaking.
• Then remove the boiled eggs and let them come to room temperature.
• Place 1.5 liters of warm water (30 degrees Celsius), 4 tablespoons of wine vinegar, egg dye in a pot and mix well.
• Put the boiled eggs in the pot with the mixture you have prepared and leave them for the time indicated by the dye*.
• Most dyes come with gloves so you can easily remove and polish the eggs without getting dirty. Otherwise, you can use disposable gloves.
• Then remove them and let them dry very well on cardboard, newspaper, or absorbent kitchen paper.
• After they dry well, with a piece of cotton or a cotton fabric dipped in olive oil, you can polish the red eggs one by one.

*Most ready-made dyes provide precise instructions and boiling times, while also including disposable gloves.

Tips

• If you dye white eggs with red dye, they will take on a bright, vibrant red color, while beige eggs will take on a deep, almost burgundy color. The same will happen with other colors as well.
• Prefer eggs that are at least 7-10 days old and not fresh, as they will not peel easily.
• Eggs should be at room temperature and not used directly from the refrigerator. This will avoid intense and sudden temperature changes and prevent them from cracking while boiling.
• Before using, make sure they do not have any bumps or cracks and clean them well with a damp cloth to remove any dirt before boiling.
