Greek Red Eggs for Orthodox Easter

A quick and easy way to dye your Eggs! Being Orthodox Greek, this is our families traditional way of dying our eggs red.
There are many ways to do this process, hope you enjoy and get some value from watching how my family does ours. 😊

We Georgian Orthodox Christians dye the eggs with red beet juice :)

[@HangingWithHelen]

Davi oh wow! That’s another great method. Does it take very long?

[@kellyclark7517]

I was just going to ask about using beet juice :)
Ty! Do you do it pretty much the same as done here with this recipe?

[@cableman29588]

Do you store them in the fridge? If so, how do you keep the dye from coming off on your hands when its time to crack them?

[@HangingWithHelen]

I do store them in the fridge. By putting the oil on after you’ve dyed them, it stops the colour from coming off. 😊

[@jimkontos2595]

Can I use different colors if wanted to

[@HangingWithHelen]

Absolutely!!! You can definitely do this with a few different colours. 😊

[@tinahasapis1085]

No vinegar?

[@HangingWithHelen]

Yes, definitely vinegar. We added it once the water came to a boil. 😊

[@eugenesedita]

Where does one get the dye?

[@HangingWithHelen]

Eugene Sedita most European deli’s should have them. Anywhere they sell European condiments. 😊

[@eugenesedita]

Red onion skins

[@HangingWithHelen]

Katie Neves yes, that is another way and the most traditional way in fact. 😊

How are eggs greek.?

[@HangingWithHelen]

The eggs come from Greek chickens that we have raised and speak only Greek to, therefore they are Greek eggs. 😉
