Why are Columbus eggs
good for your health?
A Columbus egg contains fifteen times more omega-3 than a standard egg and four times more than other eggs advertised as high in omega-3.
Thanks to their richness in anti-oxidants, Vitamin E and selenium, Columbus eggs are among the only eggs that preserve omega-3s during cooking.
One Columbus egg provides 50% of the recommended daily intake of omega-3 of animal origin

THE BEST FOOD FOR OUR HENS
What is the recipe for this unique nutritional contribution?
The secret of Columbus lies in the quality of the feed given to our chickens. It consists of a balanced mix of various seeds (wheat, flax) and legumes, rich in vitamins.
This patented recipe was developed in collaboration with Belgian universities.
Because our hens eat better, their eggs allow us to eat better.

These three essential elements are present in much higher quantities in Columbus eggs than in other conventional eggs.
From the age of 12 months, babies can eat cooked whole eggs.
In addition to omega-3, this food is an ideal source of protein for their growth. It is good to know that the proteins in egg whites are considered to be the best for humans, and therefore for babies.
