Colored eggs in rice

Colored eggs in rice are a creative and engaging way to give a festive look to traditional Easter treats. This egg-dyeing method likely originated from the desire to create bright, unusual patterns using simple and accessible ingredients. In the process, rice becomes a unique palette that evenly distributes color, creating an amazing effect. The taste of these eggs remains familiar: firm white and tender yolk, but there is added aesthetic pleasure from their unusual appearance. They are perfect for the Easter table, decorating it with bright colors and can also become an entertaining family activity. The smooth texture of the eggs, highlighted by a light sheen from oil, makes them even more appealing. This dyeing method allows for unique patterns that delight the eye and add festive cheer.
1
Prepare all the ingredients.
2
Boil the eggs hard in salted water.

Next, it depends on what effect you want to achieve: you can dye the eggs in different colors with pretty speckles, or make them multicolored. If you prefer the eggs to differ in color from each other, take as many plastic bags or jars with lids as there are colors used. Fill each with rice.
4
Add your food coloring to each packet. Mix well so that all the rice is colored.

If the goal is to achieve a colorful pattern, a couple of bags will suffice: fill them with rice, add all the dyes at once, and shake well to distribute the color evenly.
