Eggs are one of the richest sources of naturally available protein. Here are the five most expensive egg varieties in the world you must know.
These British eggs are a rare commodity that is available for only four weeks out of the year. These eggs are rich in flavour and taste best when soft-boiled.
They are small and delicate, with beautiful pale shells flecked with deep brown. They contain more vitamin B12 and iron.
They are prized for their stunning deep blue-green shells. They have a mild flavour and are ideal for omelettes and frittatas.
Duck eggs are approximately 50% larger than hen eggs. The shell colour varies by breed and can range from pale silver-grey to brown and green to almost black.
They are approximately half the size of hen eggs. They are high in nutrients, especially vitamins B1 and B2, D, and E. They taste good when hard-boiled.
