Egg coloring - the natural and easy way (when I can do it, you can do it too! ).

FAQ:
Are they still eatable? - Sure, after 10 min. of cooking they are all colored and ready to eat.

Red Onions usable too? - Yup! I added some red shells too. I don't know for sure but I think if you ONLY use red ones it will color them in a more reddish brown.

How much shells do I need? - Use at least 1 kg onions for 10 eggs. The more you use, the deeper the color.

Do shells and herbs change the eggs flavor?- Nope, when the egg's shell is fine (no cracks) they still taste like every normal cooked egg.

But we use tights not rags! - You sure can use tights too. They are easier to wrap around BUT since they are more elastic you have to wrap them really VERY tight around since the cooking water can create air locks and ruin the patterns.

I'm sorry for any spelling errors or mistakes - I don't really have alot of time at the moment.. am working alot. But I still hope it helps ^-^ !

Happy Easter!!!

*edit* A DD? Omigod! I just nearly fainted ! Thanks so much to ~demoncherry for suggesting and ^shelldevil for featuring it. If I had known I'd have tried to write it in a more proper english. I will totally polish it a little when I have time to do so. THANK YOU!!!!!

Is there any way to get other colors naturally?

There are lot's of ways to color eggs naturally. Spinach for green, raspberrys or beetroot for red, orange and lemon peels for yellow/orange...

How to people think up this stuff? XD

This is a good idea though, it is a welcome break from all the bright colored easter eggs and is more earthy! Does this work on white eggs too?

XD Don't know. But I'm glad someone had the idea since the result is always really pretty.

This is TOO ADORABLE. What made you think about doing this? Or,,, did you learn this somewhere, or just experimented? I would have been nice to hear more about how you came to this final product (in that sense)..

Thanks for sharing, too! Beautiful work

I used to color eggs like this with my aunt when I was a kid. To color eggs with onion shells is an old method I think. I'm not sure if it's popular to add the onion shells directly on the egg as pattern though. I don't know if my aunt heard about it or if she just tried it out.

I really enjoyed to do it again after lots of years.
