Can I use canned beets instead of fresh?

Yes, but fresh beets provide deeper color and more natural flavor. If using canned, ensure there’s no added sugar.

How long do beet-dyed deviled eggs last?

They stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3 days when stored in an airtight container. Avoid freezing as it affects the texture.

Will the beet dye affect the taste?

A little. It gives a pleasant tangy-pickled flavor that enhances the richness of the filling.

Can I use a different natural dye?

Absolutely! You can use turmeric for yellow, spinach for green, or red cabbage for blue tones.

How can I make the filling lighter?

Substitute half of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or use avocado for a creamy, nutrient-rich twist.
