Affordable food matters to everyone. Egg prices may be up, but they remain a great value. Cost per serving, it’s hard to beat the high-quality protein of eggs for cooking, baking and everyday meals.
A dozen large eggs is 1.5 pounds of high-quality protein that is versatile and delicious. Even in this time of higher prices, the nutrition value of eggs remains a great value. Eggs are an all-around nutrient powerhouse, with high-quality protein and essential vitamins and minerals for healthy living like choline, vitamin B12, and iodine. They’re essential to meeting the daily nutrition needs of Americans.
Egg farmers know how much eggs are loved—they’re in almost every U.S. refrigerator—and egg farmers are proud to produce the incredibly nutritious, high-quality eggs Americans count on
