Crack into Endless Possibilities - World Egg Day

Eggs are vital in feeding people in both developed and developing countries. They are an excellent, affordable source of high-quality protein that can be produced almost anywhere, making them a valuable food source worldwide.

International Egg Commission (IEC) Chairman Joanne Ivy explained: “As an industry, we feel very privileged to be producing a product that can benefit so many people; we have publicly pledged to work with food organizations and developing nations to help provide access to eggs for everyone.“

Crack Into Endless Possibilities

Globally, over 1 billion people are underfed and undernourished; the egg industry believes it can make a difference and help to stop this.  With the help of the IEC and international egg associations from around the world, the international egg industry has pledged to work with the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organisation, food organizations, and developing nations to help feed the world’s growing population and make eggs available to everyone.

Wishing you the Joy of Easter

Wishing you the Joy of Easter

The Easter Egg

Where did the colored Easter eggs come from? The egg is a symbol of new life, rebirth, and the celebration of spring. The early Christians describe the egg as a symbol of the resurrection of Jesus.

After a long hard winter with small amounts of food, an egg for Easter was quite a treasure. Later, Christians abstained from eating meat during Lent. Easter was the first chance to enjoy eggs and meat after the long abstinence.

Nutrition Facts

A medium-sized chicken egg is only 70 calories and rich in protein. Check the chocolate eggs below and compare.
