With new thinking on the importance of dietary fats and a correction in how much
cholesterol they contain, eggs are back in favor by the dozen. Eggs are one of
the most economical ways to increase the nutrients in your family's diet. An egg has a high nutrient density because it provides a wide range of nutrients in proportion to its calorie count, which is about 70 calories for a large egg. Nutrient-dense foods help you get the nutrients you need without excess calories. The egg's protein is the highest quality protein of any food. One egg of any size equals one ounce of lean meat, poultry, fish or seafood in the food groups. At the Franklin Farmers Market, you'll find eggs from the River Cottage, Gardner Grove, West Wind or Moonshadow Farms. And you'll notice a few differences in the freshly laid eggs from our local farms. A yolk that's high and firmly centered is the marker of a fresh egg that
should taste splendid. Yolk brightness has to do with diet. A bright yellow-orange
yolk usually means the chicken is getting lots of greens. And a thick shell means
the bird is getting enough calcium. So pick up farm fresh eggs at the market this
Saturday and enjoy the taste of delicious food that's good for you too.
