Egg-cellent

May is known for many exciting events like Mother's Day, proms, graduations, and Memorial Day. One thing not prioritized in the month of flowers and sunshine: eggs. After the hustle and bustle of Easter, eggs sales slow. That's why the American Egg Board has named May National Egg Month, to remind Americans about the many benefits of eggs, which can be enjoyed throughout the year.

Following Easter and through the summer, consumers can find eggs at a great price due to a constant supply of eggs from the holiday, but less demand. Eggs are affordable and packed with protein and nutrients. They can also be prepared in dozens of different ways. In fact, a chef's hat is said to have a pleat for each of the many ways you can cook eggs. Check out these recipes you can enjoy morning, noon, or night:

• Crystal Farms Farmhouse Frittata
  
• Land O Lakes Breakfast Casserole
  
• Horizon Organic Cinnamon Doughnut Muffins
  
• Eggland's Best Chicken Francaise
  
• Egg Beaters Caramel Orange Flan

Fueled by increasing consumer demand for more convenient food products, growth of the egg products industry is expected to continue in the future. Learn more about the egg industry and get additional statistics from the United Egg Producers website.
