Bonus Natural Easter Egg Dye episodehttps://www.groundedhere.com/podcast () with Andrea Catherine from https://www.groundedhere.com/podcast (GroundHere.com) https://awesomescienceactionclub.com/ () Sponsored byhttps://awesomescienceactionclub.com/ ( Awesome Science Action Club) Pre-chat mid way: I will post it today? Does that sound interesting? You said you wanted something Eastery? https://www.facebook.com/OurHenHouse/ () I think it sounds awesome! I have been feeling really guilty lately, I just found this new podcast called Teaching Jasmin how to Cook Vegan, that is only on like episode 4 but they have this other podcast called the Hen House that’s been out for years. And my good friend Dacia who inspired me to quit using plastic and then seeing the  Naturally Dyed Easter Eggs would be an awesome idea for today! One of my students was joking about her mom hiding a white egg out in the snow but we have a foot of snow.  Tomorrow starts my first official day of Missoula Marathon training! You can’t get a better course then Missoula, cool, flat, early, gorgeous Montana! Come join me. If you heard the first episode Welcome! Whether or not you celebrate Easter you know about this tradition of dying easter eggs!  When I grew up you could even buy these shrink wrap those things and put it over the egg. IDK if you remember, you drop the egg in boiling water… We’d use food coloring to dye the eggs! You know we’d make it look cool! But… Dying the eggs with things and actual food is possible and something you want to share today The waste doesn’t have to go to waste you can compost it if you want I want to share with you what you can do with that even if you’re not gonna dye Easter eggs maybe you want to dye something else. 3 food Items will give us 3 different colors yesterday was a little drab, today is a bit cloudier. We’re craving that pop of color Incorporating that in our food can be helpful for our food and appetite! Is really fascinating to me, in the Auyervedic tradition Kapha heaviness and stickiness! Having vibrant colors can help us feel more live and connected to what we are eating! Turmeric Anyone uses turmeric knows it is a natural dye already! I have turmeric stained dish towels plates rug Turmeric can also be used appropriately as a dye too not just by mistake! It’s a gorgeous color! I love that color! Absolutely! It gives a kind of  mustard yellow when we dye the egg!  We actually are going to mix with vinegar water the vinegar will help that color to pop from the egg! A couple of Tablespoons of turmeric a cup of boiling water few teaspoons of white vinegar Let your egg sit for a minute or so rotate it If you dye easter eggs a lot you might want to do one side one color more vibrant that colors going to be the longer you leave it. dye eggs save the water and I’ll tell you why in a minute coming out of winter Beets The beets you are dying in the grocery store not a farmer, they’ve probably havn’t been just harvested so they could be stored in a way when you can eat them now Dark pink color from beets cut a medium beet in half add some boiling water cover the beet couple of tablespoons of vinegar again play with the temp get a really dark color color that the eggshell absorbs unless you leave it for a really long time cool removing the beets vibrant pink color If you are not like me, and you don’t just LOVE pickle beets, can you cook the beet, take the beet out and then put the vinegar in the water so you don’t get that vinegar taste? Yeah that makes a lot of sense! Great question – I’m gonna tell you what to do with the water, don’t throw it away! if you don’t like the vinegar taste want the vinegar to secure the dye to the egg once you have that color in the water you should be fine. blueberries frozen hucks Support this podcast
