Snack eggs

Why are healthy snacks important?

From age 12, children need almost the same amount of food as adult women, but it can be difficult to eat enough during the main meals.

This is why it is a good idea to have a few healthy snacks during the day.

How many snacks you need depend on many things, for example on how active you are. Doing sports or exercising requires far more energy than reading or sitting in front of the computer.

Eggs are a healthy and nutritious snack. Small organic snack eggs are the perfect choice for parents looking for healthy and organic snack or lunch box options for their children.

Inside the box you will find useful tips and delicious child friendly recipes with eggs.

Why snack on eggs?

All eggs – including small snack eggs – contain all the minerals, vitamins and trace elements that the human body needs, except for vitamin C. In other words; eggs are a true superfood!

Eggs contain 12.5 g of high quality protein per 100 g. That is a lot, and it means that eggs will make you feel full for longer. Protein strengthens the body, is great for your immune system and is an important source of energy.

Eggs also contain fat, but hardly any carbohydrate. This is why it can be a good idea to have eg. a bit of fruit or bread with your eggs.

What is an organic egg?

Organic eggs come from hens with access to an outdoor area. The hens enjoy pecking for worms, climbing trees and playing hide and seek in the bushes.

The hens eat organic feed which is grown without the use of artificial fertilizers or pesticides.
