How to prepare turmeric eggs for coloring

To make Easter eggs beautiful, you need to know not only how to paint them with turmeric, but also how to properly prepare them. Here are some tips to take note of:

• White eggs are best for coloring. You can use brown ones, but then the amount of turmeric will need to be increased.
• The color of the eggs will depend on the amount of seasoning used: the more there is, the richer the shade.
• During the dyeing process, the water with seasoning must be constantly stirred, since turmeric does not completely dissolve in water.
• It is advisable to choose smooth and even eggs, without roughness.
• Eggs must first be removed from the refrigerator, washed well with a brush and rubbed with alcohol so that the color lays down evenly. You can dye it raw or boil it beforehand.
• When choosing a seasoning, you need to carefully look at the expiration date. It is better to buy turmeric in transparent packaging.
• In the process of boiling the eggs, you need to add table salt, then they will remain intact and not crack.

For coloring, it is better to use an old saucepan and wear gloves, since turmeric will color not only eggs, but also dishes and hands.

The most beautiful eggs for Easter

Turmeric is a great alternative to onion skins, the eggs are beautiful yellow in color. Consider a simple algorithm on how to paint eggs with turmeric for Easter 2022 at home.

What you need:

• 5 eggs;
• 30-40 g of turmeric;
• 2 tbsp. l. vinegar (9%);
• 1 tsp salt;
• 700 ml of water.

Step-by-step instructions with a photo:

• Eggs are well cleaned with a brush from dirt and stamps (ordinary baking soda will help).
• Gently dip them into a pot of water, making sure that the eggs are completely covered. Add water if necessary.

Pour turmeric into a separate bowl, add a little water and mix into a gruel. So the seasoning will not be taken by the grains, but will quickly dissolve in the water

We take out the eggs from the pan, send the gruel from the seasoning there, then pour in the vinegar, add salt and stir everything thoroughly

We return the eggs to the pan, put on fire and after boiling, cook over low heat for 10 minutes

• Then we transfer them to a bowl of cold water so that the eggs cool faster, then gently wipe them with paper towels.
• If you want to get a more saturated shade, leave the eggs in water with turmeric for 2 hours, and then also dry them with towels.

Vinegar is necessary for the staining process to be more intense, and salt will be needed in case the shell still cracks: the protein will quickly curdle in salt water.
