Specifications

• Product: Ostrich Egg
• Quantity: 1
• Weight: 4-5 lbs.

Safe Handling Instructions

• Farm fresh eggs have what is called a cuticle, an invisible protective membrane over the shell that seals the egg from oxygen and bacteria. Grocery store eggs do not have this protective layer and thus do not last as long.
• For the longest lasting eggs, do not wash your eggs until you are ready to eat them. To wash, rinse them carefully in warm water without soap.
• Washed eggs last up to 1 month in the refrigerator. Unwashed eggs can last about 2 weeks on the counter and up to 3 months in the refrigerator.
• If you decide to wash your eggs before storing them, make sure they are completely dry before storing.

THE SUPERIOR OSTRICH DIFFERENCE

Our ostriches are born and raised free-range in the USA from hatch to harvest. Our ostrich eggs are all natural with minimal processing and contain no artificial ingredients. We never use antibiotics or hormones. Our ranch practices regenerative farming, minimizing soil disturbance, utilizing rotational grazing, and prioritizing holistic animal management. 

COOKING TIPS

Ostrich Eggs, due to their size and unique qualities, offer a multitude of possibilities in the kitchen. They can be used in many of the same ways as chicken eggs, but their large volume and distinct texture lend themselves to specific applications. Due to their volume, cooking times will be longer. Gentle heat is recommended to ensure even cooking. Cracking the shell requires a hammer or a drill, as the ostrich egg shell is much harder than that of a chicken egg.
