The incredible edible egg

Woke up bright and early at 630 am. What did I eat for breakfast? Scrambled eggs. In appreciation of their loveliness, here are some fun facts about eggs.

-Can’t remember if an egg is fresh or hard boiled? Just spin the egg. If it wobbles, it’s raw. If it spins easily, it’s hard boiled. A fresh egg will sink in water, a stale one will float.

-White shelled eggs are produced by hens with white feathers and white ear lobes. Brown shelled eggs are produced by hens with red feathers and red ear lobes.

-China produces the most eggs, at about 160 billion per year. In the US, about 280 million hens produce more than 65 billion eggs per year. A hen can lay about 250 eggs per year.

-There are about 70 calories in an uncooked egg and 77 calories in a cooked egg.
