Buying & storing

  • Medium eggs are usually better value per gram than large
  • Cartons are plastic-free by default; some farm shops take them back for reuse
  • Eggs from a local farm gate are often fresher and no dearer

Keep it well: Keep in their box in a cool cupboard or the fridge; they last well past their best-before if the shell is intact.
