Result of a high price – potatoes are colored in the US instead of Easter eggs

Date:

Some Americans become creative considering the cost explosion for eggs this year at Easter: many use cheap alternatives and dye potatoes instead of eggs for the Easter basket.

There is no food in the spotlight like the egg at Easter. But because of the dramatically improved prices, many Americans are looking for alternatives this year. The potato apparently turns out to be a good replacement: on social media, many photos and videos in which the tuber is colorful.

This is how painted Easter potatoes look like:

“As soon as you put your colored potatoes in an Easter basket, they look like a couple of extra -reduced colored eggs,” explains the Goodhouseeping.com platform. You must be careful to choose the light possible potatoes to get a good result. “If you tinker with children, you can also consider baby potatoes,” it continues.

Egg -shaped stones are also suitable for colors
In addition to potatoes, there are also other foods that are colorfully colored in Easter baskets: Marshmallows are also suitable as an Easter egg set, as bloggers report. Moreover, stones in the form of an egg would be very suitable as cheap alternatives. An organizer of a large Easter egg search in the US state of Ohio told “New York Times” that he had to use plastic eggs for the first time this year. The 10,000 eggs that are normally needed for the event would otherwise not have been affordable.

The reaction to this change was positive. “I think people were secretly afraid that we would cancel the event because of the current egg prices. That is why they are happy that it will still take place,” says John Young, operator of the fourth generation Young’s Jersey Dairy in Yellow Springs.
