  • Good culinary value per serving when available

HEALTH BENEFITS

  • Rich in choline for brain and liver health
  • Provides lutein and zeaxanthin to support eye health
  • Good source of selenium and other essential minerals
  • Contains fat-soluble vitamins that are better absorbed with dietary fat

PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

SINGLE-EGG MEAL

Fry or poach in butter or ghee; the large size makes it a full meal.

LUXURIOUS OMELET

One goose egg yields a generous omelet; fold in spinach, parmesan-cheese, and herbs.

RICH SCRAMBLE

Scramble softly with cream and chives; finish with smoked salmon or crispy bacon.

BAKED GOODS

Substitute for ~2 chicken eggs in keto baking (cakes, brownies) for extra richness.

PREMIUM CUSTARD

Use yolk-forward recipes (custards, crème) for ultra-silky texture.

SOFT-/HARD-BOILED

Because it’s larger, simmer ~12–15 min for soft-set; ~18–20 min for hard-boiled. Cool in ice water.
