What is the difference between omega-3 enriched eggs and regular eggs?
Omega-3 enriched eggs are the same as the “classic” egg we all know except they contain higher levels of the polyunsaturated fat and vitamin E. The amount of cholesterol is similar but they have a higher level of omega-3 fatty acids. These products are sold under a number of brand names across Canada. Omega-3 enriched eggs are developed by changing the feed ration of the hens so that it contains 10 – 20% flax seed. Flax seed is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids.
