Ostrich eggs are still a specialty in the kitchen. No wonder: after all, an ostrich egg is the equivalent of about 20 chicken eggs! Quite a large amount can be processed there. Ostrich eggs are particularly suitable for desserts.

Ostrich eggs for desserts

Cakes or creams can be prepared with ostrich eggs. In terms of taste, there is hardly any difference between chicken eggs, but the consistency of the desserts is particularly fluffy, as ostrich breeder Cornelia Pfeiffer now explains will.

Since an ostrich egg is about the size of 20 normal chicken eggs, processing only makes sense if this large amount is needed. To open the eggs, a hole can be drilled into them and negative pressure can then be created using a straw. This is how the inside of the ostrich egg flows out. Of course, the egg can also be cracked open.

Ostrich eggs are so healthy

The ostrich eggs, which can weigh up to 1.5 kilograms, consist of protein and egg yolk, just like chicken eggs – but in larger quantities. They are a good source of animal protein, which keeps you full for a long time and avoids cravings. Ostrich eggs contain vitamins A, B, D, and E as well as the minerals iron and calcium.
