    Natural Easter Egg Dye. Chemical-Free. Plant-Based.

    Colorful dyed Easter eggs are a tradition in many homes this time of year. As a vegan, I don’t eat eggs, but for children and adults who enjoy the egg dying tradition, here is an easy recipe using all-natural ingredients to make earth-friendly, chemical-free Easter eggs. Click ahead for the recipe…

    Plant and Spice based Egg Dye

    INGREDIENTS

    2 dozen eggs
    2 orange peels
    1 beet
    2 cups red cabbage, chopped
    ¼ lb turmeric root, grated
    2 cups spinach, chopped
    10 teaspoon vinegar
    Other ingredients for dyes: blackberries, concord grapes, pomegranate, strong coffee or espresso, blood oranges, cherries, paprika, portobella mushrooms.

    Instructions:
    Hard boil the eggs and let them cool. For each color, boil 3 cups of water, 2 teaspoon vinegar and one of the vegetable ingredients for 30 minutes.
    The orange peels create a pale yellow-orange, beets create pink, turmeric root a deeper yellow, spinach makes a spring green, and red cabbage makes blue.
