WE LOOK AT THE EFFECT OF EGGS ON CHOLESTEROL LEVELS, THEIR NUTRITIONAL CONTENT, AND MORE.
There is nothing paltry about the number of eggs consumed in Singapore every year. Our appetite for them has actually been growing. A check with the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority (AVA) shows that the yearly per capita consumption of hen eggs rose from 291 eggs in 2006 to 338 eggs in 2016. However, there are people who avoid eating them because they consider eggs to be rich in cholesterol.
Is there truth in this assumption? Experts weigh in on this and answer other common questions on this food source.
Q Where does Singapore get its eggs from?
A Around 76 per cent are imported mostly from Malaysia, and farms in Singapore supply the rest.Local supplier Seng Choon Farm produces 540,000 eggs a day or 11 per cent of the daily consumption here. It expects to raise daily production to 600,000 eggs next year. A spokesman says the farm can produce up to 750,000 eggs a day. Another major player, Chew’s Agriculture, produces half a million eggs daily for the Singapore market, up from 300,000 in 2010.
Q How many types of eggs are sold in Singapore?
A There are seven types: cage-free, certified organic, free-range, omega-3 enriched, pasteurised, brown, and kampung eggs.
