Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between free range eggs and cage eggs?
Free range eggs come from hens that have outdoor access and can roam freely, resulting in richer-tasting eggs with deeper golden yolks and potentially higher omega-3 and vitamin content. Cage eggs come from hens kept in confined battery cages. Free range farming is considered more humane and is increasingly preferred by Australian consumers.
Are free range eggs healthier than cage eggs?
Research suggests free range eggs may contain higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and vitamin E compared to cage eggs, partly due to the hens' varied outdoor diet. Their yolks are typically a deeper, richer colour indicating higher carotenoid content. For most households, free range eggs represent a healthier and more ethical choice.
Where can I buy organic eggs online in Australia?
You can buy certified organic eggs online at Velspices.com.au. Organic eggs come from hens raised on certified organic feed without synthetic pesticides or chemicals. Order online and have them delivered to your home across Australia.
Do you deliver fresh eggs to my home?

How are eggs packaged for delivery?
Eggs are carefully packaged in protective cartons to minimise the risk of breakage during transit. We take extra care in packing fragile items. However, as with all delivery of fragile goods, we recommend being available to receive your order.
How many eggs come in a pack?
Egg pack sizes vary by product. We typically stock eggs in cartons of 6, 12, and larger sizes. Browse our eggs range for current available pack sizes and pricing.
What's the best egg for South Asian cooking?
For South Asian cooking — particularly egg curries, egg biryani, and egg masala — free range eggs with their richer, more flavourful yolks tend to produce the best results. The depth of flavour in a free range egg makes a noticeable difference in dishes where eggs are the star ingredient.
Can I add eggs to my regular grocery order at Velspices?
Absolutely! Simply add eggs to your cart alongside your other groceries. One checkout, one delivery — and orders over $50 ship free in Melbourne metro. It's the easiest way to never run out of eggs.
Do organic eggs taste different from regular free range eggs?
Organic eggs and free range eggs often taste very similar, as both come from hens with outdoor access. The primary difference is in feed — organic hens are fed certified organic feed without synthetic additives. Some people report a slightly richer flavour with organic eggs, though individual taste differences can be subtle.
Do you stock farm eggs (not supermarket eggs)?
Yes, our egg range includes farm-sourced eggs that prioritise quality and freshness over mass-production. Browse our Fresh Eggs page at Velspices for current stock from our trusted farm suppliers.
