FROM FARM TO FOOD:

• Chicken fact: Eggshell color has nothing to do with the flavor or nutritional value of an egg.
• Dairy fact: Farmers measure milk in pounds, not gallons.
• Dairy fact: A cow produces 4.8 pounds of butter per day.

OTHER HINTS: 

Eggs are high in protein and can overcook if cooked at too high a temperature. A low heat for slow cooking results in evenly cooked, delicious eggs.
