Emu Eggs in the
Kitchen
-
Emu eggs are great
in the kitchen. The Emu egg is lower in
cholesterol than normal eggs. It is lighter and
fluffier as an omelet or scrambled. It takes
less quantity when used in baking items such as
bread or cake mixes.
-
Emu eggs are laid seasonally from November
through April and are therefore not available
year round. On can freeze the egg youlk and
white for later use if need be.

Emu Feathers
for Crafts & Fishermen
-
Emu Feathers are quite
unique. They are double feathers - two complete
feather joined at the base. They have 1 primary
feather per quill and another secondary under the
primary, therefore there are 2 unique feathers on 1
quill.
-
They vary in size
depending on where they are on the body. Neck
feathers are short, the back feathers are longer and
the tail feather can be up to 15" long.
 The
tail feathers are quite coarse while the neck
feathers are much softer. The neck feather are white
with a black tip, while the rest are varying shades
of brown.
-
Emu Feathers will take
any color dye therefore it is an excellent craft
item.
-
Emu feathers are great
for crafters, boas, feather pillows and quilts. They
are also used as stuffing in cushions, pillows and
auto seats.
-
 Fly
fishermen like the Emu feathers to tie flies. The
long tail feathers are great for tying while the
shorter ones fan out and the barbs help "float" the
fly.
-
Emu feathers are also
anti-static so make good feather dusters for
cleaning, especially for computer screens and other
electronics.
-
Emu Leather
-
Emu Leather is a supple
leather in great demand by designers and consumers.
It is excellent for designer apparel, hand bags and
purses, boots, shoes, and other accessories. It is
an exceptionally durable, beautifully detailed,
supple and breathable leather. One hundred percent
of the Emu hide has an attractive full-quilled
pattern. The surface visually shimmers due to the
raised imprints left from the feather follicle
structure. Emu leather has the ability to accept and
enhance and color dye.
-
The Emu skin from the
legs has a dramatic reptilian texture which fashion
designers find a suitable substitute for hides of
certain endangered species that is used for inserts
in clothing.
