The Dutch will eat 35 million eggs over the Easter weekend

The Dutch are set to eat 35 million eggs this coming Easter weekend, the equivalent of just over two eggs each and twice the normal consumption, RTL news says on Tuesday.

Last year as a whole, the Dutch ate 195 eggs each, three more than in 2012 and 15 more than in 2000.

The egg traders’ association said this is because the image of eggs is improving and they are increasingly seen as a valuable food.
