Ask your burning questions about eggs, learn all about egg farming in Manitoba, answer trivia questions to win a whisk and get delicious new egg-focused recipes – eggs are a nutritious, versatile and affordable protein that can be enjoyed anytime!

See you there!

Eggs for a Healthy Future

Did you know that the egg is one of the most environmentally sustainable and cost-effective animal-source proteins available? The protein in eggs helps to build muscle, curb hunger, boost the immune system and much more. Among the most common nutrient deficiencies worldwide are iron and vitamin D, A and B12 – all of which can be found in eggs.

And here in Manitoba, all the eggs at the grocery store are produced locally, leading to fewer emissions from transportation.

Together, let’s celebrate the nutritious, versatile egg and the farmers who produce them! Happy World Egg Day!
