World Egg Day
October 9 · Level 2 · #1860 of 2238
World Egg Day gives a familiar kitchen staple its moment of attention. From a quick breakfast to an elaborate dessert, eggs have many jobs in cooking; the occasion also highlights their place in diets and the people who produce them.
How it is celebrated: cooking demonstrations, tastings and recipe competitions invite people to try something new. Producers and industry groups organise educational activities about eggs and farming.
Brown shells do not make eggs more nutritious than white ones. Shell colour mainly comes down to the hen's breed, rather than the nutritional value inside.
