Women's Health magazine has released its 2013 list of "Supermarket Stars" and Eggland's Best Hard-Cooked Peeled Eggs have been recognized as one of the best "recovery foods" on grocery-store shelves.
"Eggland's Best Hard-Cooked Peeled eggs are an effective recovery food because they are an excellent source of lean protein which helps build and preserve muscle," says Registered Dietitian Elizabeth Ward. "I make sure to only feed my family Eggland's Best and recommend them because they contain essential nutrients like vitamin D which is important in maintaining muscle strength, and omega-3 fats which can help reduce inflammation in muscles and joints as well as vitamin B12."
What sets Eggland's Best eggs apart from ordinary eggs is their all-vegetarian hen feed that consists of healthy grains and canola oil, as well as their strict quality assurance program. As a result, Eggland's Best eggs contain 25 percent less saturated fat, 10 times the vitamin E, four times the vitamin D and twice the amount of omega-3 fatty acids than ordinary eggs. Plus, Eggland's Best eggs contain 38 percent more lutein and provide a good source of vitamins B2 (riboflavin), B5 and B12, and contain about 70 calories per egg.
