According to the Irish heart foundation, those who don’t suffer from high blood cholesterol levels can eat up to 7 eggs a week. To celebrate World Egg Day this friday, Bord Bia has partnered with Today FM presenter Mairead Ronan and professional rugby player Dave Kearney.
Mairead said: “It can be tough trying to feed a family like mine as we are often on different schedules but there will always be eggs in my house. A quiche is always a winner, really easy to make, super tasty and a great way to get extra veggies and goodness into the kids.”
While Dave said eggs are essential to his training: “With the level of training that I do, nutrition is critical, particularly getting enough natural protein into my diet. Eggs are a staple of my diet, especially because they are so quick to make and a great protein boost after training.”
Teresa Brophy, Brand Marketing Manager at Bord Bia said overall half a dozen is the favourite among consumers. She said: “six packs still hold the largest share of the category (30.6% volume share), followed by dozen packs (10.7% vol share).
“By choosing eggs with the Quality Mark, consumers can trust that they have been produced to the highest Bord Bia standards which are verified at every stage.”
