It should be every South African’s wholesome addition to their regular meals. Our eggs are low-cholesterol and are a great supplement for those looking for natural ways to improve heart and brain health and get their Vitamins a Punch!
For optimum freshness and food safety, eggs should be kept at a constant temperature below 20°C. To avoid the typical temperature fluctuations in a domestic kitchen, we recommend that eggs are stored in their box in the fridge. See our egg storage and handling page for more information.
Most modern supermarkets are kept below 20°C so it is not necessary for retailers to refrigerate their eggs. Not refrigerating eggs in store also prevents significant temperature fluctuations (for example eggs being moved from a fridge to a hot car after purchase).
Eggs should not be frozen in their shells but when broken out they will keep for up to six months safely in the freezer. Freezing temperatures affect egg yolk proteins with the result that the yolk has a glutinous texture when thawed, though this can be prevented by the addition of sugar or salt. Half a teaspoon of sugar or a teaspoon of salt per egg should be mixed with each whole egg prior to freezing.
When yolks are frozen separately, the same quantities should be added to every two yolks. (Make sure you label those containing salt for savoury dishes and those containing sugar for sweet dishes). Egg whites freeze satisfactorily without any stabilisers.
As a guide when using frozen eggs, it is useful to remember that: 3 tablespoons (approx 60ml) thawed whole egg is equivalent to 1 egg; 1 tablespoon (approx 20ml) thawed egg yolk is equivalent to 1 egg yolk; 2 tablespoons (approx 40ml) thawed white is equivalent to 1 egg white. Frozen eggs are best thawed in the refrigerator. If time is short you can thaw them at room temperature. Do not re-freeze eggs once they have been thawed.

Egg shells can be used in a number of ways in your garden, for example crushed up egg shells sprinkled around plants help prevent snails and slugs. You can also try mixing together crushed shells and dried coffee grounds and add to potted plants to boost nutrients. The water that you use to boil your eggs can also be used on your plants - the egg shell’s calcium that has leached into the water benefits the plant. Add egg shells to your compost heap to boost nutrients, or start new seeds in the egg shell, again the seeds will benefit from the shell’s nutrients. If you’re not an avid gardener, bottles and vases can also be cleaned using egg shells. Simply drop into the vase, add water and washing up liquid and shake.
Eggs can be cooked quickly and successfully in a microwave oven; however they should NEVER be cooked in their shells in a microwave oven as pressure will build up inside the shell and the egg may burst either inside the oven or on removal from the oven. When broken out of the shell, eggs can be cooked in a microwave, but first remember to prick the yolk. See our micro recipes in our egg recipes section for more information.
