All Types of Eggs Have the Same Nutrition

Did you know that no matter what type of eggs you buy, you’re getting the same nutrition? It’s true! Organic, free range, free run and regular eggs all provide the same great nutrition. The exceptions to the rule are Vitamin D or Omega 3 enhanced eggs. With these eggs, the hens have been fed a diet rich in these nutrients and that benefit is passed through to their eggs, for us to enjoy!

Smoky Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

There are over 14 key nutrients in eggs, including Lutein and Zeaxanthin to help maintain good vision, Selenium to strengthen body tissues and Choline to aid brain development! Our recipe for Smoky Stuffed Sweet Potatoes is a great way to take advantage of these benefits in an easy, healthy dinner.
