LMAO. This just reminded me of a story growing up. I wanted to try natural dye, Mom said great we can go grab peels off onions in the store, it doesn’t hurt them so the store won’t mind. The store definitely minded and we ended up buying 10 or so onions that day.

I saw a video of someone dying Easter eggs with red/purple onion peels and they were absolutely gorgeous!

Since everyone here knows now that onion peel can dye eggs, another interesting fact is that Indonesian and Malaysian actually use onion peel to make an egg dish called Telur Pindang. Eggs are boiled until hard-boiled consistency, the shells are cracked but not peeled, then they are re-simmered in broth containing onion peels and aromatic spices to make this sorta marbled looking hard-boiled eggs. They are good!

Delicious I’m sure but I think we’ll stick with our chocolate egg tradition.

Yes, they are for dying Easter eggs. It is a traditional method, not just for orthodox christians. People normally save the peels throughout the year but if you are short on peels, you can now buy them.
We add some leaves and flowers that we pick, stick it to the egg, wrap the egg in onion peels, stuff it in a sock and boil. The egg becomes brownish red and the plants leave light imprint. Sad I can not add image in comments. Google smth like ‘onion peel eastern Europe easter eggs’

You can wrap eggs in the onion peels and drop into boiling water it dyes them a really nice, almost golden colour with beautiful designs left by the different layers of the onion skin so I’m guessing that may be why

So RuneScape wasn’t just making stuff up for making yellow dye.

Slightly unrelated but as a Finnish person I find it fascinating they your word for onion is such a close cognate to ours in Finnish (sipuli). I’m guessing it’s originally a Baltic word that got loaned into Finnish and Estonian, since it’s quite common for the oldest loanwords to be from Baltic languages.

So as a former Christian here, I not sure what this is for
Passover and Easter happen at roughly the same time – Passover was going on when Jesus was crucified. Sephardic Jews make tea with them and use them to dye eggs on Passover. Some Christians use them to dye Easter eggs.

I am so confused rn. You can dye eggs with onions somehow? I grew up in suburbia with the kits from Paas or Dudleys.

€25.80 per kg is insane to Me. Go to any restaurant and tell them you pay even half per kg for that and they wil happily keep it seperated.

One of the traditional Sephardic foods for Shabbat (and all the holy days) is hamine eggs. Hard boiled eggs that get slow cooked overnight with the onion skins for ~8 hours, and they get this really lovely smokey/nutty flavor. The color also goes through the shell, dyeing them a light brown.

onion skins are actually used to naturally dye easter eggs in eastern europe. gives them that dark golden color. so this is genuinely useful and someone figured out they could charge for what everyone else throws away. respect.
