chocolate eggs for Easter
Mar 29, 2019
Nature’s most perfect food; they’re full of protein and healthy amino-acids. Most people love eggs, whether it’s for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. But what do we actually know about eggs? Here are some fun facts about eggs:
- Most of our eggs on the eggscellent farm are laid in the morning between 7am and 11am. That’s when we run back and forth to collect them for you.
- From our eggscellent chickens we often get a few twin eggs – huge eggs with two yolks inside. So far, we have not seen any triplets.
- The happy eggscellent chickens only eat selected fresh feed as well as moringa leaves (image on the left). What our chickens eat will affect your breakfast egg. The wrong feed or medicine for chickens causes issues for consumers.
- Eggs contain zero carbs and no sugar. Click here for more nutrition facts.
- The colour of an egg is determined by the colour of the chicken’s ear. Generally speaking, chickens with red ears lay brown eggs, chickens with white ears lay white eggs. We only have red-ear chickens on the farm.
- Chef hats traditionally have pleats equal to the number of ways that you can cook an egg.
- Can’t tell if that egg in the refrigerator is raw or hardboiled? Try spinning it! Raw eggs wobble as the liquid inside shifts, but hardboiled eggs spin smoothly.

this is awesome. i love your eggscellent eggs.
These are the best eggs in asia. Super healthy and delicious. Put a “cage free” cheaper egg next to an eggcellent egg in a bowl and you can see the difference. One is pale orange/yellow and the yolk will open as soon as it hits the pan. The eggcellent egg is a reddish orange and has a healthy strong yolk.
