Did you know you could use 100% natural ingredients like onion skins and beetroot to dye eggs? It's super simple and so much healthier than any artificial alternatives.
Artificial colours have been linked to hyperactivity, impaired ability to learn in children and even certain types of cancer. That's quite a few reasons to avoid artificial food dyes.

I've experimented with some new types of dyes, it was so much fun! From all the ingredients that I've tried, beetroot, turmeric, chlorophyl and hibiscus tea create the most vibrant and beautiful colours!
Below is a list of ingredients you can use to dye hard-boiled eggs. You can dye whole or even peeled and partially peeled eggs to create a "marbled" look. While unpeeled hard-boiled eggs last for about a week, peeled hard-boiled eggs will last for up to 5 days (refrigerated).
