Cage-Free Brown Eggs
What it is
These are brown eggs from hens that are not kept in cages. The hens are able to roam freely within their living space. The color of the eggshell is determined by the breed of the hen. This package contains two dozen eggs.
How people cook with it
Eggs are a versatile ingredient in many kitchens. They can be used in both sweet and savory dishes.
- Scrambled for breakfast
- Baked into cakes
- Fried for sandwiches
- Whipped into meringues
Eggs can be prepared in numerous ways. They can be gently whisked for a light scramble or beaten vigorously for a fluffy omelet. For baking, eggs bind ingredients together and add richness. They can also be used as a glaze or a binder in meatballs. When poaching, care is taken to keep the yolk intact. Fried eggs can be cooked to your preference, from sunny-side up with a runny yolk to over-hard.
How it differs from similar foods
The primary difference from other eggs is the housing of the hens. Cage-free hens have more space to move around compared to conventional caged hens. The shell color, brown in this case, is purely a result of the hen's breed and does not affect the egg's taste or quality.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs alike use these eggs for their everyday cooking needs.
How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store the remaining eggs in their original carton in the refrigerator. Keep them away from strong odors. It is best to use them within a few weeks of purchase for optimal quality.
