Eggs are more than just a breakfast staple—they are a cornerstone of global nutrition and the backbone of countless recipes. Here’s why:

Nutritional Powerhouses: Eggs provide high-quality protein, essential for muscle repair and growth. They are rich in vitamins A, D, E, B12, and minerals like selenium, iodine, and choline, supporting brain function, immune health, and energy levels.

Sustainably Sourced: As one of the most sustainable animal proteins, eggs are produced with minimal environmental impact. British egg farmers like us, take pride in following high welfare and sustainability standards, ensuring quality from farm to fork.

Versatile and Affordable: Eggs are essential in baking, binding, and enriching countless dishes. From comforting cakes to savoury quiches, they form the heart of many cherished meals.

Have a question ? 

White vs brown eggs, what's the crack ? 

The colour of the eggshell is dependent on the breed of the hen. In general, white hens produce white eggs and brown hens produce brown eggs. Since the 1980s the British industry has produced almost 100 percent brown-shelled eggs, although several other countries still produce predominantly white-shelled eggs. There is no nutritional difference between white and brown-shelled eggs.

How do you know if an egg is fresh ?

All our eggs carry a date stamp; however, if you want to double-check, you can pop your egg into a glass or bowl of water. If it sinks, it’s fresh, and if it floats, it’s stale.

Are eggs good for you ?  

You would be hard-pressed to find a food that contains such an ideal mixture of nutrients as eggs as they are one of nature’s superfoods; fitting into many diets and lifestyles. Along with high levels of quality protein, eggs are naturally rich in vitamin D, B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B12, iodine, and selenium and they contain several other essential dietary vitamins and minerals.  

Where should l store eggs ?   

For optimum freshness, eggs should be kept at a constant temperature; below 20°C. This is often why it is advised to keep eggs in the fridge so they can be kept at a constant temperature.

Here are some other top tips for storing eggs:

When storing eggs, keep them in their original boxes. This ensures that any odours from surrounding foods are shut out. Who wants an egg that tastes like an onion ? 

If you take eggs out of their box, store and use them in date order.

Store away from strong-smelling food because egg shells are porous and can take on the smell or taste of other foods. The average hen’s egg has around 7,000 pores!

Never use dirty, cracked, or broken eggs.
