They can serve as a nutritious snack or can be easily used to make egg salad, deviled eggs, or a number of other recipes – to learn more, visit our Recipe Page here .

3.  Who needs cooler packs, use frozen liquid eggs!

A lot of campers don’t know that liquid eggs can serve a dual-purpose: on one hand, you can use Naturegg Simply Egg Whites or EGG Creations! Fat Free Original to easily make omelettes and scrambled eggs, without the hassle of cracking any eggs – just shake and pour! Also, the cleanup is easy as there is very little packaging.

Another little known fact about our liquid eggs is that they can be frozen and used as a cooler pack replacement. In fact, liquid eggs can be frozen for up to 3 months, if frozen before their best before date. Who needs ice packs taking up precious space when frozen liquid egg cartons can keep your food cold?

4.  Fibre egg cartons make great fire starters

It’s not just eggs that are great for camping – egg cartons are also surprisingly useful! When you need to start a campfire, be sure to use your empty egg cartons because these fibre cartons burn quickly and easily. Keeping waste to a minimum is also important.

When camping with your children, another way to keep and reuse your egg cartons is to make egg carton crafts. It’s a fun, unique activity that encourages your children to be creative and use their imagination – and it’s a great way to pass a rainy day in the tent!
