World Egg Day

Eggs have a vital role to play in feeding people in both developed and developing countries. They are an excellent, affordable source of high-quality protein, that can be produced almost anywhere, making them a valuable food source to people across the world.

International Egg Commission (IEC) Chairman, Joanne Ivy, explained: “As an industry, we feel very privileged to be producing a product that can benefit so many people; we have publicly pledged to work with food organizations and developing nations to help provide access to eggs for everyone.“

Globally, over 1 billion people are underfed and undernourished; the egg industry believes that it can truly make a difference and help to stop this.  With the help of the IEC and international egg associations from around the world, the international egg industry has pledged to work with the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organisation, food organizations, and developing nations to help to feed the world’s growing population and make eggs available to everyone.

Wishing you the Joy of Easter
















The Easter Egg





Where did the colored Easter eggs come from? The egg is a symbol of new life, rebirth, and the celebration of spring. The early Christians describe the egg as a symbol of the resurrection of Jesus.

After a long hard winter with small amounts of food, an egg for Easter was quite a treasure. Later, Christians abstained from eating meat during Lent. Easter was the first chance to enjoy eggs and meat after the long abstinence.


Nutrition Facts
A medium-sized chicken egg is only 70 calories and rich in protein. Check the chocolate eggs below and compare.
