2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Eggland's Best (EB) is

Course semi-finalist photos represent the most passionate EB fans
who also have an eye for taking beautiful photos of their delicious
and healthy EB dishes.
"To celebrate 25 years of providing the only egg that

Eggland's Best creations."
From now through July
2nd, EB is calling on fans to vote for their
favorite Main Course category photo to help determine which of the

will receive $1,000.
"The Main Course semi-finalist submissions in this year's
EB Foodtography Contest are not only creative and
delicious-looking, but are also nutrient powerhouses with the
addition of EB eggs," says Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist
Dawn Jackson Blatner. "Using Eggland's Best eggs adds superior
nutrition and taste to any dish, which is why they are the only
eggs I recommend to my clients and serve to my family."
Compared to ordinary eggs, EB eggs contain six times more
vitamin D, 25 percent less saturated fat, more than double the
Omega-3s, ten times more vitamin E and more than double the vitamin
B12. EB eggs are also an excellent source of vitamin B2
(Riboflavin) and vitamin B5. EB's superior nutritional profile
is due to its proprietary all-vegetarian hen feed that contains
healthy grains, canola oil and a wholesome supplement of rice bran,
alfalfa, sea kelp and Vitamin E. In addition, independent
testing has revealed that Eggland's Best eggs have stronger shells
than ordinary eggs, which leads to less breakage and helps them
stay fresher longer than ordinary eggs.
