Easter eggs, hard-boiled, soft-boiled, for breakfast, for dinner and for decoration

There is enough production in Norway. Eggs are now in short supply in many places around the world due to avian flu and high production prices. Fortunately, this is not the case in Norway. Traditional Easter dishes such as leg of lamb and meat are also sufficiently available, according to a quick glance at the Norwegian Directorate of Agriculture's stock records.

On Easter, we eat twice as many eggs as we do in a year. We usually eat half an egg a day on average, but on Easter we will eat one egg per person every day, according to data from Matprat. This means that we will eat around 26 million eggs over Easter. Fortunately, there are enough of them.

There is no Easter without eggs, hard-boiled, soft-boiled, for breakfast, for dinner and for decoration - and there are more than enough of them for everyone.

In Norway, we actually have an overproduction of eggs, and several producers are now being paid to suspend production. Even though egg sales skyrocket before Easter, enough eggs are produced, so there is no reason to worry that there won't be eggs for everyone at Easter, says Ida Louise Bjønness, "egg expert" at the Norwegian Directorate of Agriculture. Eggs are healthy and help to gather strength, e.g. before long trips.
