Good Nutrition
Quite simply, the egg is one of Mother Nature's most nutritious foods. One large egg contains only 70 calories, 6 grams of protein, and many other essential nutrients that help keep your family strong whenever they're on-the-go. Eggs are also natural sources of vitamins (A, B6, B12, D, E, riboflavin, thiamine, choline, niacin, folate), calcium, iron, zinc, lutein, zeaxanthin, and omega-3 fatty acids.

Good Taste
BC Fresh Eggs and BC Fresh Specialty Eggs are not only nutritious, they're also delicious! Eggs simply can't be beat when you want a meal that's quick-and-easy, nutritious, versatile, and economical. Breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack. Appetizer, main course, or dessert. BC Fresh Eggs are a natural choice for today's active and healthy lifestyle.

Good Quality
BC Fresh Eggs are one of the most affordable sources of high quality protein. They contain all nine essential amino acids that your body cannot produce on its own. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, critical for you and your growing family.
