Title: Which Eggs Should You Be Eating?
Post by: OMG on May 26, 2008, 04:11:00 AM: By Alexandra Guarnaschelli

As a kid, I can remember going to the supermarket and grabbing any random cardboard carton of eggs off the shelf. I would run them home (top speed!) to my mother because they were usually going into a delicious coffeecake or batch of corn bread.

Times have changed. Cage-free? Organic? Brown? White? Omega-3s? Help! Here are some tips to help you figure out which eggs you should be eating:

* Brown or white? In actuality, color is simply an indication of the breed of hen. Find the freshest egg with the most flavor and let color be a secondary concern.
* Extra Omega-3s? Omega-3 eggs come from a hen whose diet has added flaxseed, which yields an egg containing an average of 225 mg of Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E. The countless health benefits for humans make these eggs a tempting purchase. My opinion? Eat a piece of fresh fish -- salmon or sardines or Atlantic mackerel, for example -- and get a pure dose of Omega-3's. Let eggs be eggs.
* Does your egg need exercise? Cage-free and free-range eggs are from hens raised without the confines of a cage, though they may or may not have spent much time outdoors. Organic eggs are from hens that are raised with the most holistic approach: their feed must meet organic standards, they must be raised humanely and sustainably, and they must be given access to the outdoors. Hey, happier hens do lay tastier eggs.
* Does local make a difference? Nothing is better than local eggs. They may have a feather or two stuck to them or a slightly imperfect shape and they may or may not be certified organic; however, they have one quality I prize: I know exactly where my food came from and how it came to be! In some cases I can even ask the farmer when the eggs were laid and what they were fed. At $2.20 for a dozen large eggs and all the information I could want about my food, I call it a bargain! I refrigerate the eggs the minute I return from the market.
* Is spending more really worth it? I think so. Some parts of your diet are hard to manage on a budget. Beef, for example, can make a costly difference if you're looking to go organic at home. Eggs are less significant. Try making one evening meal a week where your organic eggs take center stage. Make a huge open-faced vegetable omelet, for example, or try a quick chicken stir-fry and fold in a few eggs during the last two minutes of cooking.

I actually like the yolk better than the white. I know, I know...super unhealthy. :P

Akong mom gusto niya ang egg white (plus the yolk is bad for her heart) so half mi...iya ang puti, ako-a ang yellow. Walay away. haha ;D
Paborito nakong luto ug itlog kanang sunny-side-up. Unya dili jamo lutuon...gusto ko humok & gabasa pa ang yellow, naglutaw pa. Unya ibahog sa luto. YUMMM =D

Ehhh ??? Akong sunny-side-up lutuon nako ang tibuok itlog (white & yolk). Pero kung gusto jud nimo nga sunny-side-up ang egg yolk lang...na hala. Imong i-separate ang yolk sa white (you know that trick to open the egg, pour out the yolk using the eggshell, etc) unya prituhon ang yolk. Simple lang. hehe :P

hehehe..i was just kidding you..no such thing as sunny side up without the whites...

hmmm...seriously, there's some arguments against medicals about egg yolks being unhealthy...it actually contains vitamin A and is more nutritious! eating only eggs whites is boring..sorry mommy! hehehe
Title: Re: Which Eggs Should You Be Eating?
Post by: latagaw_jamo on September 28, 2008, 01:46:26 AM: You tell that to mom! hahaha ;D

Bitaw...boring kung egg whites lang. Murag wala man guy lami. Mas makadala ug lami ang yolk man.
Gigutom man ko ani! Pwede magpa-order ninyo diha sa Metro Manila ug Tapa King? One tapa king & one tapa queen...all 4 eggs sunny-side-up, half-cooked. Extra order of atchara please. ;D

anyway, for mom's sake..here's a nice recipe: beat those egg whites and pour on sauteed onions...make it scrambled white egg..not semi-cooked ha but fully cooked...then you mixed it with mayonnaise..yumyum!
