Product Description

This package contains 1 color egg dye: Red
One package makes 50 eggs total.
Hard-boiled eggs, dyed deep red to symbolize the redeeming blood of Christ, are a Greek (or Eastern Orthodox) tradition at Easter. The egg is further symbolic in that it is an emblem of the Resurrection: it contains life motionless; in like manner, after being motionless in the grave, the resurrected come forth with new life. On Easter and the following week, the general greeting "Christos Anesti!" (Christ is Risen!) and the reply "Alethos Anesti!" (Truly He is Risen!) are heard among the faithful.

My eggs turned out beautiful. Everyone wanted to know how I got them so red. I am not sure you carry this all the time; I just want to make sure I can get this product again next year in time for our Greek Easter. Thank you so much!

This dye is fantastic for making eggs truly red. I am happy to be able to get this from the Greek Market. The package came right on time.

High quality egg dye!

The red eggs came out beautifully. If you use white eggs, the color is a rich true red. If you use brown eggs, the color is deep wine red. Polish them with olive oil, wipe off the excess. Once the eggs are dyed, the color does not come off on your hands nor a cloth.
This egg dye is easy to use and produces the color you want for Easter.

Ever since Since my go to brand, Lihnari, seems to have dropped off the US market, I've been trying everything from Fantis to commercial food dyes. This is the only brand that gives me the deep
My family's recipe :
3 envelopes per 2.5 quarts water
12 washed & dried clean eggs
1 teaspooon vinegar (do not add more with 2nd or 3rd dozen)
My mom's steel pot
Low Boil the eggs in the dyed water 15 mins.
Shine with Olive oil once cooled down
For 2nd and 3rd batches of 12 doz eggs:
Add warm water to replace what evaporated bring up to 2.5 qt mark
