Before the eggs get plated with Frankfurter Grüne Soße, they will have a long way to come into the house. The first stop is the market, when you’re shopping for them. Aside from regular eggs, Easter season will have dyed Easter eggs as well. These eggs do not have the most strict guidelines to be kept well and it’s best to be cautious. 

Apart from looking for eggs that are not cracked to avoid potential bacteria, it should also be kept in mind that eggs that are already boiled should not be out in the open for long. While buying, it needs to be certain that they have been refrigerated well and safe. If possible, it is best to go for eggs that have been dyed naturally, with ingredients like red onion skins or turmeric. Artificial dyes are not the first choice for any Easter egg!
