Star Egg Omega-3 Eggs
Flax in the hen feed is the whole idea.
A large egg on this card is listed at 75 mg of DHA. Vitamin E is 35 percent of the daily value. Vitamin B12 is half of that daily value.
The same note puts 400 mg of omega-3 fatty acids in the egg and calls that 10 times a regular egg. The format here is an 18-pack.
Grading is in Saskatoon, Canada, at 1302 Quebec Avenue. The firm dates to 1966 and buys from 65 Saskatchewan farms. The Harman family runs it with local producers.
