🥚 What is the difference between chicken eggs, duck eggs and quail eggs?

Many people think that an egg is an egg – but there's actually quite a big difference between them.

At Den Lille Hagen in Grimstad, we have several types of eggs, and each of them has its own characteristics.

Here's a simple overview:

🥚 Chicken eggs

Chicken eggs are what most people are used to using in everyday cooking.

• Mild and balanced taste
• Works for most things
• Perfect for breakfast, dinner and baking

This is the "standard egg" that works for almost everything.

🦆 Duck eggs

Duck eggs are larger and have a slightly richer taste.

• Larger than chicken eggs
• More full-bodied flavor
• Very good for baking

Many people use duck eggs when they want extra moist baked goods or more flavor.

🐥 Quail eggs

Quail eggs are small, but very decorative and exciting.

• Small and delicate
• Fine and mild taste
• Perfect for tapas and garnishing

These are often used for special dishes or when you want to make something a bit extra.

What should you choose?

• For everyday use → chicken eggs
• For baking → duck eggs
• For special dishes → quail eggs

At Den Lille Hagen, you can get all these types – straight from the farm in Grimstad.
