A World Egg Day Milestone

Hi Lyndey,

Happy World Egg Day!

There's a lot to celebrate. Eggs, the original superfood, have cracked a new milestone with 18.9 million being consumed in Australia every day. This equates to a total of 6.9 billion eggs consumed in Australia this past year*. We really love our eggs!

So why are more Australians reaching for the humble egg? We partnered with YouGov to learn more about eating habits, and discovered that Aussies prioritise 3 key elements at dinnertime:

1. Taste & Flavour
2. Simplicity & Time-Efficiency
3. Nutrition

With the recipes below, you'll see that eggs tick all three effortlessly. Keep scrolling to discover simple, flavourful, and versatile World Egg Day recipes. And stay tuned for another World Egg Day Challenge at the end!

What do 1 in 3 Australians Stress About?

35% of Aussies find cooking dinner to be a stressful experience. But why?

After a long day at work, most of us are tired and exhausted (52%)*. We head to the supermarket and find most things are expensive (41%)*.

After making do with what we can purchase, we find ourselves strapped for time, feeling uninspired (40%)*, and pressured to cook something simple and quick before the evening turns to night. And then we do it all over again the next day. 

It's no wonder why nutritious, versatile, and affordable eggs are becoming the go-to option at mealtimes.

🍳 Did You Know? 🍳 

Egg Yolk or Egg White?

How about both? When looking at the nutritional value of an egg, it’s important to take a look at everything in the shell instead of individual elements. Yolks contain 100% of an egg's vitamin D, whereas whites contain more protein (but only by a marginal amount). Choosing to eat one over the other means you're missing out on all 13 essential nutrients found within an egg.
