Double-Yolk Eggs – UAE Guide 2025

Double-yolk eggs are a fascinating natural occurrence — and many of our customers in the UAE ask if they can order them. Because they are rare and require special conditions, quantities are limited. Here is everything you need to know: how double yolks occur, whether they are safe and nutritious, and how you can request them for your home, café, or restaurant.

We respect all UAE food-safety laws and best practices, and this guide is written to help you understand what you are buying — so you can enjoy double-yolk eggs with full confidence.

What Are Double-Yolk Eggs?

A double-yolk egg contains two yolks inside one shell, instead of the usual one. This happens naturally when a hen ovulates two yolks in rapid succession and they both get enclosed in the same shell. It is most common in:

• Young hens whose egg-production cycles are not yet stable;
• Hens bred for high egg output under certain conditions;
• Occasionally, older hens — though much rarer in this case.

Because of these biological factors, double-yolk eggs are naturally rare, and the rate of occurrence varies depending on flock, breed and farm management. At Gardenz, we can sometimes supply double-yolk eggs — but only in limited quantities. If you want some, it’s best to request ahead.

Nutrition & Safety: Are Double-Yolk Eggs Safe to Eat?

More Nutrition, Same Safety If Handled Right

From a nutritional standpoint, double-yolk eggs simply contain roughly twice the yolk — which means more protein, fat and other yolk-based nutrients per shell. Eating a double-yolk egg gives you a richer, more nutrient-dense egg.

• Higher protein and healthy fats — useful for those needing extra calories or balanced macro intake.
• More vitamins, minerals, and healthy lipids from the extra yolk.

Scientifically, double-yolk eggs are no more risky than regular eggs — provided they are handled, stored and cooked properly. All standard egg-safety guidelines apply: refrigeration after collection, clean handling, and cooking thoroughly. There is no evidence that double-yolk eggs are harmful or carry extra risk inherently.

Hygiene & UAE Food-Safety Compliance

In the UAE — given the warm climate and strict food-safety regulations — it is especially important to maintain proper cold-chain and handling. At Gardenz we:

• Collect eggs frequently and pack them with a clear date code;
• Store and transport under temperature-controlled conditions;
• Advise customers (households or kitchens) to refrigerate eggs immediately after receipt;
• Recommend cooking eggs fully for best safety (boiled, fried, baked, etc.).

As long as these standard safety steps are followed, double-yolk eggs are as safe as regular eggs — compliant with UAE food-safety laws for fresh eggs.

How to Request Double-Yolk Eggs from Gardenz (Limited Supply)

Because double-yolk eggs are rare, we cannot guarantee them in every pack. If you would like to order double-yolk eggs:

• Send us a request (via our contact page) specifying quantity and date.
• We will confirm availability — double-yolks are usually supplied while stocks last.
• Double-yolk eggs are sold as fresh shell eggs, not pasteurized — treat them under standard egg-safety practices.

For chefs, cafés or bakeries requiring pasteurised eggs under HACCP rules — double-yolk eggs may be used if your cooking process includes a proper kill-step. Otherwise, for raw or lightly cooked egg dishes, please follow your HACCP-certified procedures.

Who Might Love Double-Yolk Eggs?

• Home cooks and families looking for nutrient-dense eggs with richer yolks and more protein.
• Fitness-focused individuals or people needing more protein/calories in fewer eggs.
• Cafés or bakeries wanting a “specialty / novelty” product for customers — ideal for brunch menus or premium offerings.
• Anyone curious — double-yolk eggs are fun, rare, and make a great talking point while still being perfectly safe when handled properly.
