ALRIGHT.
SO, WHEN IT COMES TO AN EGG, WHEN YOU THINK OF IT, WHAT COMES
TO MIND?
WELL, IF YOU'RE ANYTHING LIKE ME, YOU PROBABLY THINK ABOUT
MORE THAN YOU CAN EVEN COUNT.
EGGS ARE SUCH A PART OF OUR EVERYDAY LIFE.
SO, EGGCEPTIONAL--- BA-DUMP-BUMP.
IT COULD TAKE A WEEK TO TELL IT ALL.
NO YOKE, THERE.
ALRIGHT.
LET ME JUST SAY, I'M HERE EVERY TUESDAY.
OK?
(LAUGHTER).
I'M A COMEDIAN, AND DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT.
BUT, JOINING US, THIS MORNING, TALKING ABOUT THE INCREDIBLE
EGG, AND ALL IT MAKES POSSIBLE, IS CINDY McGARRIGLE, OF CENTRUM
VALLEY FARMS.
HEY, CINDY.
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME, DANIELLE.
I'M TELLING YOKES ABOUT THE EGG.
BUT, THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS, THEY'RE EVERYWHERE.
I MEAN, WE USE THEM IN SO MANY WAYS.
AND, I'M NOT AN EGGSPERT.
I'M GONNA STOP, RIGHT THERE.
I'M NOT EVEN GONNA PUT YOU THROUGH THIS TORTURE, ANYMORE,
OF MY JOKES.
BUT, I KNOW THIS STUDIO IS NOT BIG ENOUGH TO DEMONSTRATE
EVERYTHING EGGS ARE USED FOR, EVERYTHING EGGS ARE USED IN.
TALK ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF EGGS, IN OUR LIVES.
SURE.
EGGS ARE IN ALL OF OUR CELEBRATIONS OF LIFE.
WHETHER IT'S BIRTHDAYS,---.
UH HUH.
---ALL OF THE MAJOR HOLIDAYS, GRADUATIONS, WEDDINGS, YOU
REALLY CAN'T HAVE ANY MEAL, OR ANY CELEBRATION, WITHOUT THE
EGG.
ISN'T THAT SOMETHING?
THEY'RE ALL OVER, BUT HERE IS THE THING, AND I KNOW, YOU KNOW,
ME PERSONALLY, AND I'M SURE A LOT OF AMERICAN WOMEN, OUT
THERE, PROBABLY, VERY HEALTH CONSCIOUS, VERY WEIGHT
CONSCIOUS, WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES, HEALTH WISE,
ATTRIBUTED TO EGGS, AND ALSO EGG BASED FOODS?
EGGS ARE VERY NUTRITIOUS.
THEY'RE PACKED FOR, FOR 70 CALORIES, THEY ARE PACKED WITH
LOADS OF IMPORTANT NUTRIENTS.
AND, EACH EGG CONTAINS 6 GRAMS OF PROTEIN.
NICE.
IT'S THE HIGHEST QUALITY PROTEIN IN ANY FOOD, AND IT'S THE GOLD
STANDARD BY WHICH ALL OTHER FOODS ARE MEASURED.
OH, I LOVE THAT.
I LOVE THAT.
HERE'S THE THING, A LOT OF TIMES, WHEN I'M IN THE STORE,
I'LL SEE STAMPED ON THE EGGS, CONTAINS OMEGA-3s.
IS IT A SPECIAL TYPE OF EGG?
(LAUGHTER).
OMEGA-3s ARE.
OK.
THEY ARE A SPECIALTY EGG, YES.
OK.
AND, OMEGA-3s ARE A VERY IMPORTANT NUTRIENT, BUT IT'S
HARD TO FIND IN A LOT OF OTHER FOODS.
FISH CONTAINS OMEGA-3, BUT SINCE A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T LIKE FISH,
THE SPECIALTY OMEGA-3 EGG IS A GREAT OPTION.
I TELL YOU, I LOVE FISH, AND I LOVE EGGS, SO I'LL PUT MY
OMEGA-3 EGG ON TOP OF MY FISH, AND I'LL GET THE DOUBLE DOSE,
THERE.
ALRIGHT.
SO, THIS LOOKS GREAT.
ALL THESE BEAUTIFUL DISHES, AND ALL, BY THE WAY, OF THESE
DISHES, CONTAIN EGGS.
A LOT OF 'EM LOOK PRETTY EASY TO PREPARE.
TALK TO ME ABOUT WHAT WE HAVE, HERE.
AND AGAIN, EVERYTHING HERE, FOLKS, USES EGGS.
AND, I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO
REMEMBER.
OK.
NOT ONLY ARE EGGS CONVENIENT, THEY'RE VERSATILE, AND THEY'RE
DELICIOUS.
THEY JUST TASTE GOOD.
SO, YOU CAN START OUT WITH A NUTRITIOUS BREAKFAST, YOU CAN
PUT AN EGG ON ANY SALAD FOR LUNCH, THEY MAKE A GREAT TAKE
ALONG SNACK, IF YOU HARD COOK THEM, AHEAD OF TIME.
UH HUH.
THEY MAKE GREAT DIPS AND APPETIZERS, AND ALSO, A LOT OF
COMFY, COZY DINNER DISHES, LIKE SOUFFLES, AND CASSEROLES.
WHICH, I LOVE.
WHAT DID I TELL YOU, RIGHT BEFORE WE WENT ON AIR?
I WAS TELLING CINDY THAT, LAST NIGHT, I MADE LASAGNA FOR THE
FAMILY, AND I USED EGGS IN LASAGNA.
SO, YOU'RE RIGHT.
YOU USE THEM IN SO MANY WAYS THAT YOU NEVER WOULD EVEN THINK
OF.
ALRIGHT.
SO, MY PRODUCER AND I WERE TALKIN', EARLIER TODAY, ABOUT,
MAKE SURE I GET THIS RIGHT, FREE RANGE ORGANIC.
TELL ME ABOUT THAT.
SURE.
FREE RANGE EGGS MEANS THAT THEY ARE PRODUCED BY HENS THAT ARE
FREE ROAMING IN A CONTAINED, PROTECTED AREA.
OK.
THE ORGANIC PART MEANS THAT THEY ARE FED A SPECIAL FEED
FORMULATION, IN COMPLIANCE WITH U-S-D-A ORGANIC REGULATION.
BUT, THERE'S ONE MORE THING I WANTED TO ASK YOU ABOUT,---.
SURE.
---AND I HOPE THIS DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A DUMB QUESTION,---.
NO.
---BUT WHEN I SEE BROWN EGGS, AND I SEE WHITE EGGS, I'M
THINKIN' WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
OTHER THAN COLOR, IS THERE ANY DIFFERENCE IN THE EGG, ITSELF?
THERE IS NO NUTRITIONAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE WHITE
EGG AND THE BROWN EGG.
THERE IS NOT?
NO, A WHITE EGG IS PRODUCED BY A HEN WITH WHITE FEATHERS.
OK.
AND, THE BROWN EGG IS PRODUCED BY A HEN WITH RED FEATHERS.
SO, IT'S SIMPLY A MATTER OF BREED.
OK.
WELL, YOU ARE SO INFORMATIVE.
REALLY GOOD STUFF ABOUT THE EGG, THIS MORNING.
CINDY, THANK YOU, SO MUCH, FOR COMING BY, AND SHARING
EVERYTHING WITH US.
