An egg shell has as many as 17,000 pores over its surface.

Eggs contain all the essential protein, minerals and vitamins, except Vitamin C. But egg yolks are one of few foods that naturally contain Vitamin D.

Can't remember if an egg is fresh or hard boiled? Just spin the egg. If it wobbles, it's raw. If it spins easily, it's hard boiled.

A fresh egg will sink in water, a stale one will float.

A hen can lay about 250 eggs per year.
