Spring has sprung - or promises to, anyway. If you're dyeing eggs in celebration, engage nature in the process this year. Natural ingredients like herbs and spices offer an endless variety of hues for dyeing eggs -- from the soft purple shades of hibiscus to the rich gold tones of turmeric.
The more eggs you're dyeing, the more dyestuff you'll need. Have fun experimenting with herbs and spices to see what colors they impart, but here are some suggestions to get you started:
Reddish blue/lavender: Hibiscus flowers
Deep gold: Turmeric root powder
Pale yellow: Safflower petals
Pale orange: Curry powder
Reddish brown: Chili powder
Orange: Paprika
Soft brown: Dill seed
Tannish yellow: Yarrow
Other natural products that make lovely dyes:
Beet juice or beet powder, berries, coffee, juice, lemon and orange peels, red cabbage leaves, tea, onion skins. For Natural Egg Dyeing Directions email us at customerservice@ediblenature.com
