Did you know the humble eggshell is a masterpiece of natural engineering?
• Strong yet delicate: Just 0.3 mm thick, yet able to withstand up to 4 kg of pressure–that’s about 40 Newton in scientific terms.
• Breathable: Over 7,000 tiny pores allow oxygen in and moisture out, keeping the chick (or your breakfast) fresh.
• Built from calcium: A hen uses about 2 g of calcium carbonate per shell, that’s why nutrition is key!
At LOHMANN BREEDERS, strong eggshells have been always part of our signature. Our breeds achieve a shell breaking strength over 40 Newton, ensuring eggs that are not only high in quality, but also built to last from the nest to the table.
🌍 Beyond the kitchen, eggshells inspire packaging design, bioplastics, and even art.
💡 Tip: Want the freshest eggs? A strong, smooth shell is a great sign of quality and of a hen in perfect health.
