Protein Facts

"Most consumers just want to buy a natural protein product of which eggs provide.." - James Kellaway  (Managing Director, Egg Corporation)

Natural protein sources include: legumes such as soy beans including tofu, tempeh, soy milk and other soy products, lentils, chick peas and all types of beans, nuts and seeds, sprouts, whole grains particularly amaranth and quinoa, spirulina and chlorella (over 60% protein!) and fruit and vegetables.


The Western world consumes about 3 times the required amount of protein.  


In fact, if you are consuming enough calories from an array of plant sources, you will be taking in plenty of protein.

Unlike eggs, plant-based protein boasts the advantages of being free of damaging cholesterol, predominantly saturated fat free, and very high in fibre. To ensure you are receiving all essential amino acids, the building blocks of protein, is easy - by eating a variety of these foods you are creating perfectly complete proteins.

So considering that 73% of people think that battery cages should be banned (ORIMA Research September 2005) consumers obviously have healthier alternatives to choosing a protein supply as unnatural as cruelly farmed eggs.
