Fairy Brand Green-Shelled Chicken Eggs

Fairy Brand Green-Shelled Chicken Eggs

　　“Fairy Brand Green-Shelled Chicken Eggs” is a project introduced and developed by our city’s Animal Husbandry and Specialty Products Bureau. It adopts a “company + farmer” model for production and sales, implementing base-based production and industrialized management, with an expected output of 160,000 eggs in 2001. Green-shelled chicken eggs are an ideal nutritional and health food. Their shells are harder than those of ordinary eggs, and the eggs are green in color. The iodine content is greater than or equal to 2 milligrams per kilogram—about three times that of ordinary eggs—and the selenium content is greater than or equal to 1 milligram per kilogram—about five times that of ordinary eggs. They also have higher zinc content and lower cholesterol compared to regular eggs. Green-shelled chicken eggs can enhance physical strength, improve intelligence, and are especially beneficial in preventing and aiding in the dietary treatment of dizziness, high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer.
