Shop for Eggs Conveniently from Sears

Eggs are an essential part of most kitchens. In fact, it's hard to imagine a refrigerator that is not stocked with at least one carton of eggs. Whether you are scrambling them for breakfast or boiling and decorating them for Easter decorations, you can trust eggs to provide a needed nutritional boost to your diet. Sears carries a selection of eggs and related products to help meet your cooking needs.

Eggs are a nutritional powerhouse for your family. While they have received some negative press in previous years because of high cholesterol content, recent studies have shown that eggs are actually quite healthy. Eggs have relatively few calories, yet are packed with protein and healthy fats, as well as vitamins, minerals and carotenoids that are essential to healthy growth. It is hard to find any other food that offers these benefits in one small package.

Among these important nutrients are lutein and zeaxanthin, two carotenoids that have been shown to reduce the risk of serious diseases, like macular degeneration. Choline, another nutrient in eggs, may help boost brain development and memory. These benefits alone make eggs well worth considering as part of your diet. With all of these nutritional benefits, it is no wonder that people are turning to the egg as one of their staple foods on a regular basis.

Yet cooking is not the only place where eggs show up in the modern American home. What Easter baskets would be complete without colorful eggs inside? In the spring carefully dyed eggs sit alongside Easter stuffed animals to create stunning displays for eager children. And this activity isn't just for children. Faberge eggs are quite stunning and require careful artistic skill.

Of course, if you have moved past the years of egg hunts and egg decorating, you may be interested in trying something a little more exotic. Quail eggs, for instance, offer many of the nutritional benefit of the chicken egg, but in a smaller package. Only about an inch long, these elegant eggs are a tasty, somewhat exotic treat. Boil them to provide a pleasing petite look on your plate.

While eggs are considered quite healthy today, they are still high in fat. Those who are watching their fat intake can get many of the benefits of the egg without too much fat by choosing egg whites instead of the full egg. Pre-packaged egg whites make this even easier and eliminate the wasted yolk. Egg whites are also used in baking projects where a pure white color is desired. Using the entire egg would give the baked goods a yellowish hue. Sears offers egg whites to be used in cooking and baking projects that require the egg without the high-fat yolk.

Whether you are cooking, decorating or baking, you will need eggs, and Sears has them for you. From exotic quail eggs to the standard chicken egg, you will find what you need when you shop with Sears.
