WHOLE SOME PANTRY Cage Free Brown Eggs, 48 oz
What it is
These are large brown eggs from hens that are not confined to cages. Cage-free hens have the ability to roam in their environment. The brown color of the shell comes from the breed of the hen, not from what the hen eats or its living conditions. These eggs are a common staple in many kitchens.
How people cook with it
Eggs are incredibly versatile and can be prepared in countless ways. They are fundamental to baking and add richness to many dishes.
- Scrambled for breakfast
- Fried for sandwiches
- Baked into cakes
- Used as a binder
You can cook these eggs in many ways. For a simple preparation, crack them into a preheated skillet with a little butter or oil for frying. For scrambling, whisk them with a splash of milk or water before cooking in a pan over medium heat, stirring gently. They are also essential for baking, where they can be beaten and incorporated into batters for cakes, cookies, and breads, providing structure and moisture. Their emulsifying properties make them useful in sauces and dressings.
How it differs from similar foods
The primary difference between these and conventional eggs is the housing of the hens. Cage-free hens have more space to move around.
Who it is for
Home cooks and bakers who prefer to source eggs from hens with more freedom of movement will appreciate these.
How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining eggs fresh, store them in their original carton in the refrigerator. Ensure they are kept on a shelf, not in the door, to maintain a consistent cool temperature. This will help preserve their quality for several weeks.
