The Cherished Egg

Eggs

In many cultures throughout the world, the egg is a symbol of new life, fertility and rebirth. As we approach the celebration of Easter, hard-boiled, dyed and decorated eggs − and perhaps the creation of deviled eggs − will once again be a priority. Would you have guessed that in the United States, egg sales will reach around 180 million this month? I would imagine this encompasses baking cakes and desserts, making deviled eggs and eggs for dyeing and hunting. It is said that 1 billion eggs will be hunted over the Easter holiday.

Whether you are scrambling, poaching, hard-boiling, dyeing or making deviled eggs, it is good to know egg essentials.
