SPRINGVILLE, Calif. — Tropical Traditions announced today that it has started
shipping organic soy-free eggs high in Omega 3 fatty acids to its consumers
nationwide. These new eggs come from chickens that are raised by family farmers
and eat a coconut-based soy-free feed mixture that is certified organic, with no
genetically modified grains. Tropical Traditions developed the feed the chickens
eat: Cocofeed.
Why No Soy?
Soy has become a big part of the human diet post-World War II, with the result
that there are many people with soy allergies today. Soy is the cheapest protein
available, and it is a major component of most animal feeds. Cheap soy protein
allows chickens to grow the fastest, and produce the maximum amount of eggs
during their peak laying cycles. If one believes they are allergic to eggs, it
could be that they are in fact allergic to soy protein that researchers have now
found to be present in egg yolks. Almost all commercial eggs, including those
that are organic or marketed as “Omega 3” eggs, are from chickens fed high
concentrations of soy beans. Many people are consuming soy protein in their eggs
without probably realizing it. Tropical Traditions’ soy-free organic eggs have
been tested to be soy-free.
Highest Omega 3 Content
Tropical Traditions doesn’t simply add flaxseed or flax meal to their chicken
feed to make it “high Omega 3.” In addition to eliminating soy and using organic
coconut pulp, the chickens eat a high-quality fish meal and crab meal. The fish
meal is from deep ocean water small fish, and the crab meal comes from the cold
waters of the Pacific Northwest or Nova Scotia. Laboratory testing has shown
that these eggs contain almost twice as much of the Omega 3 fatty acids as other
organic “Omega 3” eggs that derive their Omega 3 fatty acids from flax seeds.
Not only are high-quality Omega 3 sources added to the chicken’s diet, but the
high amount of Omega 6 fatty acids that are contained in soy is completely
eliminated. Most nutritionists agree that our diet is unbalanced in its ratio of
Omega 6 to Omega 3 fatty acids because of the abundance of soy and corn in our
diets today. Tropical Traditions’ organic soy-free high Omega 3 eggs supply a
much better Omega 6 to Omega 3 ratio because of the absence of soy.
The Eggs Are Shipped to the Consumer’s Door
Tropical Traditions developed a special box for delivering its eggs to the homes
and businesses of its customers. The box and dividers are 100% recyclable, and
no plastic, Styrofoam, or bubble wrap is used. The boxes have been tested with
no egg breakage, and Tropical Traditions offers a 100% delivery guarantee.
