Powdered eggs, explained: how to scramble, bake, and store them

Fresh eggs are one of the most useful things in a kitchen. They carry breakfast, they hold a batter together, they make a fast dinner when nothing else is planned. What they don't do is keep. They crack in the cooler, they go off in a couple weeks, and you can't throw a carton in a pack without a mess.

Powdered eggs solve the keeping problem. You mix the powder with water, and you cook the result the same way you'd cook eggs from a shell. They scramble, they bake, and sealed in a can they hold for years. Our Powdered Vitamin Eggs keep up to 25 years in the can, and each serving matches two large cage-free eggs.

What's actually in a serving

One serving equals two large cage-free eggs. It gives you 13g of protein and adds 33 nutrients. There's no added sugar, and no artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, or sweeteners.

The fortification covers a lot of ground:

• Vitamin D and calcium for bones.
• Iron and the B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6, B12) for steady energy.
• Vitamins A, C, E, and zinc for the immune system.
• 105 mg of Omega-3s, plus potassium, magnesium, and selenium.

Three sizes for three jobs

Pick the package that matches how you'll use it. A deep pantry, a weekend trip, and a busy work week don't call for the same thing.

• The #10 can is the one for long-term storage. It holds 35 two-egg servings and keeps for 25 years.
• The resealable pouch lives in the everyday kitchen. It has 30 servings and a 15-year shelf life.
• The Singles 5-pack is built to travel. Five single pouches, three servings each, right for a pack or a go-bag, also good for 15 years.

Once you open any package, use it within a year for the best result.

How to scramble them

The mix is easy. Stir ¼ cup of egg powder into ⅓ cup of water and mix until the powder fully dissolves. A spoon, a fork, or a small whisk all work. If you want them extra fluffy, run a milk frother through the mix. Once it's smooth, cook it exactly like fresh raw eggs.

Baking and cooking with them

These stand in for fresh eggs one for one in nearly any recipe.

• Scrambled eggs and omelettes come together in a few minutes.
• They bind a batter or a meatball the same as a shell egg, so cakes and meatballs work fine.
• They carry a full meal too, like our Cheesy Vegetable Frittata or a fast Mixed Veggie Egg Fried Rice.

What customers say

Here's how a few people have described them.

• Terry, who spends time outdoors, said: "I've had these eggs before and they are fantastic. When you get them in the five pack version it's easier to take backpacking or camping with you... Try them I know you'll like them!"
• Jeremiah came in skeptical: "Didn't think that it would taste like eggs. Boy was I wrong, it tastes better than regular eggs. Will be ordering more items from nutrient survival."
• Rick liked having them on hand: "Easy to scramble up... they taste very good and the convenience of having eggs in the pantry to use and they are vitamin packed."

Keep a can on the shelf and you've got eggs for breakfast, eggs for baking, and one less thing that spoils before you get to it. Mix what you need, cook it like usual, and put the rest back.
