What's actually in a Happy Egg

Eggs are one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet. Here's what's in every shell.

Complete protein

All nine essential amino acids — about 6 g of clean, bioavailable protein per egg. The highest-quality protein found in any food.

Choline for the brain

~147 mg per egg — vital for memory, focus and nerve signalling. A Cape Town study found over 78% of pregnant women fell short of the daily target.

Lutein & zeaxanthin

The only carotenoids that accumulate in your retina — protecting against blue light, age-related macular damage and cataracts.

Free Range, welfare-focused

Audited and certified Free Range. Spacious houses, daily collection, family-run — the way eggs should be.

A few things you might not know

Egg trivia for the curious — and for kids reading over your shoulder.

280

A healthy hen lays around 280 eggs a year. Almost one a day.

9

Each egg contains all nine essential amino acids — the building blocks your body can't make on its own.

14

Fourteen essential nutrients in a single shell — including vitamins A, D, E, B2 and B12.

Earlobes

You can guess a hen's eggshell colour from her earlobes — white earlobes = white eggs, red earlobes = brown eggs.

Breed

Eggshell colour is decided by the hen's breed, not what she eats. Brown, white, or blue — the inside is the same.

Blue

Blue eggs exist because of an ancient virus — a retrovirus rewrote the chicken's DNA thousands of years ago.
