What Are Comet Eggs?
Comet Eggs are truly out of this world in terms of flavor and appearance. They have become extremely popular with top chefs and bakers, as well as everyday folks who like to use Chino Valley Ranchers Comet Eggs for all sorts of delicious recipes.
So, what exactly is a Comet Egg? How are they produced? What makes them different than ordinary eggs?
The Origins of Comet Eggs
Comet Eggs were first introduced by Chino Valley Ranchers in 2021. They wanted to have a line of eggs with an ultra-bright orange yolk, but also unique nutritional qualities associated with egg yolks of this unique hue.
“We wanted to shake things up for breakfast and introduce a wild idea that would make the first meal of the day more exciting,” says Chris Nichols, President of Chino Valley Ranchers. “We hope our Comet Eggs will inspire a good laugh and fun conversations about the possibility of chickens inhabiting the moon and sending their bright orange yolks our way!”
How Are Comet Eggs Produced?
How Comet Eggs are produced is no laughing matter. We aren’t conducting any mad science at our chicken farms. In fact, we use real science and biology in our humane and healthy hen-raising practices. Comet Eggs come from cage-free chickens raised on a special premium diet of specially formulated feed. This feed includes extra carotenoids, which are naturally occurring yellow-orange pigments found in nutritious vegetation like carrots and sea kelp.
Carotenoids include beta-carotene, lutein and xanthophyll, which are all linked to eye health. They say carrots are good for your eyes, and that is true. The science also shows that beta-carotene is known to improve cognitive function. Our Comet Egg-laying birds may be a little smarter than the average chicken. These health benefits are passed onto our consumers, with these nutritional elements from carotenoids contained inside the colorful yolks. Comet Eggs from Chino Valley Ranchers have zero grams of trans fat and six grams of protein, with only 70 calories per serving.
