New Study Reveals Americans' Egg Preferences This Easter

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 8, 2014) - Just in time for Spring and the Easter holiday season, a new study conducted by Kelton Global* has revealed Americans' Egg preferences are all about "scrambled." 98 percent of the nation eats eggs, but one-third of Americans prefer their eggs scrambled. Only seven percent prefer their eggs to be hard-boiled. What to do this Easter? the happy egg co. wants you to be egg-spertly creative and transform those hard-boiled eggs into works of art and palate pleasing meals.

Instead of buying the classic white shelled egg, the happy egg co. wants to offer an egg-cellent tip. Natural pigments within the signature brown shells of eggs from the happy egg co. result in more jewel-like tones than the same coloring methods on white shelled eggs. Here's an eggtastic stat to share at Sunday brunch: 96 percent of Americans don't know that the color of eggs is actually determined by the color of the hen's earlobes!

To make your Easter truly happy, make sure to use a quality egg that has a happy life. the happy egg co. is the first and only 100 percent Free Range Egg Company certified by Humane Farm Animal Care.
