We also learned about Powdered Whole Eggs

Powdered Whole Eggs is our Specialty item that we are Spotlighting this month. It normally sells for $24.00 a can, but we have purchased a 50lb bag and will be able to offer it for $14.00 for one #10 Can! FANTASTIC PRICE!

Each #10 can contains an amazing 2.25 pounds of dehydrated whole eggs per can. One can of dehydrated whole eggs is equivalent to 170 farm fresh whole eggs. These dehydrated whole eggs are produced exclusively from fresh eggs harvested from chickens in the United States. This powdered whole egg powder, when blended with water, reconstitutes into a product similar to fresh whipped eggs. The whole egg powder is non-perishable and requires no refrigeration and is ideal for camping, travel, and long-term food storage, and can be used as a direct substitute for fresh eggs. This product may be stored for up to 12 months opened, and 5 to 10 years in airtight sealed cans. As with any other food storage item, the cooler the storage area the better.

Instructions for Reconstitution: To reconstitute one egg, mix 1 tablespoon of powdered whole egg with 2 tablespoons of water. Use for any recipe that calls for eggs. When using with other dry ingredients, it is not necessary to reconstitute egg. Simply add to other dry ingredients and increase water measurements in mixture to necessary amount.

Applications: Powdered whole eggs can be used in any recipe where fresh eggs are called for including scrambled eggs, omelets, and as a protein supplement in your favorite smoothie or health drink. Powdered eggs can be added to your favorite recipes with comparable results. Since powdered eggs have been pasteurized, there is no need to cook the product. Once a powdered egg has been rehydrated it should be treated as a fresh egg and used immediately. Dried eggs are great for camping, hiking, and survival preparation.

Storage:Our dehydrated whole eggs can be stored for up to 12 months opened and 5 to 10 years sealed and unopened. As always storage life is dependent on storage conditions. Always store food products in a cool, dry place for optimum storage life. Each #10 can of powdered eggs contains 2.25 pounds of product. A #10 can measures 7 inches tall and is a little over 6 inches in diameter, or roughly the size of a large coffee can.
