Common uses

• Add protein to breakfasts, fried rice, bakes, and quick dinners.

Storage and shelf life

Keep eggs in their carton in the refrigerator. Follow the best-before date on the carton; hard-boiled eggs keep for up to 1 week when refrigerated.

Substitutions and ratios

• For baking, use 1 flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax plus 3 tbsp water) per egg in many dense bakes.
• Use 3 tbsp aquafaba per egg for lighter mixtures.
• For savoury scrambles, use about 75 g crumbled firm tofu per egg.
