Can you dye eggs without the shell?

Here's why:

* Dyeing requires a surface: Dye needs something to adhere to and color. The shell of an egg provides that surface.

* Egg white and yolk are porous: If you try to dye the egg white and yolk directly, the dye would seep in and make the egg look mottled and uneven. It wouldn't be a nice, solid color.

* The shell protects the egg: The shell acts as a barrier, preventing the dye from seeping into the egg and affecting its texture or taste.

So, while it's possible to color the egg white and yolk using food coloring, it wouldn't be considered "dyeing" in the traditional sense. You wouldn't get a beautiful, evenly colored egg like you do when you dye the shell.
