Egg prices have surged significantly due to avian influenza outbreaks that have led to mass chicken slaughters and ongoing inflation. The cost for a dozen eggs now ranges dramatically, from $4 to over $8 depending on the region. In response to these increasing prices and shortages, plant-based alternatives are being recommended. DC Vegan co-founder Leah Curran Moon suggests options such as 'Just Egg', firm tofu, egg replacers, flax meal, as well as applesauce and mashed bananas for those looking to substitute eggs in their diets effectively and affordably.
So, what do you do if you cannot find or afford a carton of eggs? Leah Curran Moon co-founded DC Vegan, a plant-based deli and catering company, with her husband, Michael Jantz Moon. Curran Moon, who has been vegan for more than 20 years, told Morning Edition that there is no shortage of great plant-based egg alternatives.
Depending on where you live, a dozen eggs could cost anywhere from $4 to more than $8. (Looking at you, California!)
