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.
 | 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! |
