WSVA Spotlight on Valley Agriculture - Egg Month

Mary Rappaport of the Virginia Egg Council highlights May as Egg and Beef Month, emphasizing eggs as a nutrient-dense, FDA-recognized healthy protein rich in amino acids and choline. She explains that pairing eggs with beef provides lasting energy, supports muscle health, and helps control appetite. Rappaport also shares that all eggs are nutritious regardless of type and promotes new recipes—like protein pancakes and egg-filled meatloaf—available on the Virginia Egg Council website, encouraging people to enjoy these versatile, locally produced foods.
