Why Order an Ostrich Egg
A single ostrich egg is about 15cm long, 13cm wide, and weighs about 1.4kg — roughly the equivalent of 20 chicken eggs. It feeds 8 to 12 people, so it is built for big breakfasts, family celebrations, and special occasions rather than a weekday scramble.

How to Cook and Store an Ostrich Egg
The shell is too tough to crack by hand — use a small saw or serrated knife. Once opened, cook it like a normal egg. Hard boiling takes 60 to 90 minutes because of the size. Refrigerated, an ostrich egg keeps for months; at room temperature it keeps for a few weeks. We reserve the right to quantity based on stock availability.
