The Whole Egg that is Good for you…

The Whole Egg

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, according to Manette Richardson, RD, CDE, 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.

 

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

I 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 that consumers should keep in mind that the “Whole” Eggland’s Best Egg was good for you!

Authors 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 taste like… Eggland’s Best is such an egg! Eggland’s Best hens are fed an all-natural, vegetarian diet containing Canola oil as the principal source of fat. This results in an egg with increased levels of Omega 3 fatty acids (100 mg) 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!

 

Cholesterol Conscious Consumers – – lowering saturated fat and cholesterol by making smart food choices… adapting recipes to lower fat and lower cholesterol versions, incorporating exercise in your daily plan, and drinking plenty of water should be… a plan for life!

Author Reading

Peavey Memorial Library in Eastport, Maine was very kind in hosting my author read this month. I read my latest book release “Crying Bear, Yes Bears Cry Sometimes Too.” All children that attended the read received coloring sheets, crayons, stickers, and their choice of one of my books.

Machias News Observer reporter, Ruth Leubecker, sat in on the read and did an interview. A great article and photo went in the newspaper the following week. Many thanks go out to you Ruth for making the trip to Eastport, Maine to do a story on me!
