Did You Know. . .

that more than a third of all eggs people consume are eaten for breakfast?

that most of the eggs eaten come from a hen?

that there are approximately 240 million hens laying eggs in the U.S. and that they produce about 5.5 billion dozen eggs?

that the stringy white part you see when you crack open an egg is called a chalazae (ka-LAY-zee).  It keeps the egg's yolk centered in the white part of the egg.

that the color of the eggshell doesn't tell you anything about the egg's taste or how good it is for you?  Though some people say that brown eggs come from hens with red earlobes and white eggs are laid by hens with whitish earlobes.
