The Whole Egg that is Good For you...
By: Virginia  Wright

Sound too good to be true? Incorporating Eggland’s Best Eggs, a real food-- not an egg substitute, into your diet and eating "The whole egg," could actually be good for you. This is true because much of the vitamins and nutrients are in the yolk and low in calories according to Manette Richardson, RD, CDE, and Director of Nutrition Services at Eggland’s Best.

Manette suggests that since Eggland's Best eggs were developed for the Cholesterol Conscious consumer Eggland's Best "whole shell eggs" have numerous advantages for individuals who would like to include them as part of their low-fat, cholesterol conscious diet. Each large egg is very low in calories at only 70 calories.

                                       How many egg whites could  I use in place of 1 whole egg?

We asked Ms. Richardson if a consumer "wanted to substitute" egg yolks for egg whites in cooking, what the substitution ratio would be of a whole Eggland's Best egg to egg white? She said, 1- Eggland’s Best Whole Egg could be substituted for 2- Eggland’s Best Egg Whites. However, she could not stress enough; consumers should keep in mind that the "Whole" Eggland’s Best Egg is good for you!

 

 

 

 

                    If you have any Cholesterol health concerns ask your doctor about Eggland's Best Clinical studies.

Editors Note: What fascinated me about  Eggland's Best Eggs is it is a delicious egg, it tastes like an egg should taste like, I grew up on a Chicken Farm as a little girl in Swanville, Maine and I know what fresh farm eggs are suppose to taste like... Eggland's Best are such an egg! Eggland's Best hens are fed an all-natural, vegetarian diet containing of Canola oil as the principal source of fat. This results in an egg that has increased levels of Omega 3 fatty acids (100mg) and 25% less saturated fat than ordinary eggs, (1g) The Eggland's Best egg is also high in Vitamin E. Ever since Eggland's Best Eggs hit the market in our area,  I've been buying nothing but the "Best" Eggland's Best that is!
