"Eggland's Best is extremely proud to be recognized as a winner of the SELF Healthy Food Awards for the second year in a row!" said Charlie Lanktree, President and CEO of Eggland's Best. "This honor helps reaffirm to our new and current customers that an EB egg is the only egg with superior nutrition, quality, taste, variety, and freshness."

Compared to ordinary eggs, Eggland's Best eggs contain six times more vitamin D, 25% less saturated fat, more than double the Omega-3s, ten times more vitamin E, and more than double the vitamin B12. The superior nutrition of Eggland's Best is due to its proprietary all-vegetarian hen feed that contains healthy grains, canola oil and a wholesome supplement of rice bran, alfalfa, sea kelp and Vitamin E. In addition, independent testing has revealed that Eggland's Best eggs have stronger shells than ordinary eggs, which leads to less breakage and helps them stay fresher longer.

"It's no surprise that an egg with superior nutrition and better taste continues to win awards," said Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist Dawn Jackson Blatner. "Eggland's Best Hard-Cooked Peeled Eggs provide the convenience of not having to hard boil eggs myself, plus they are economical, and ideal for making egg salad, deviled eggs or as a quick on-the-go nutritious snack! EB eggs are the only eggs I recommend to my clients and serve to my family!"
