100% Real Eggs. No junk.
You’ve likely heard of the farm-to-table movement promoting fresh, locally grown food served straight from the source. But you probably don’t know that the farm-to-food-waste pipeline is an alarming reality of its own, with the Institute of Food Technologists estimating 40% of all food is wasted between the farm and its final use. Our team at OvaEasy identified this initial barrier: farm-fresh eggs aren’t equally available everywhere in the world. At the same time, we also recognized that shell eggs and traditional frozen pasteurized egg products on the market have many opportunities to be damaged during shipping or wasted in storage.
The solution isn’t an easy one, but our proprietary egg crystallization process createsegg powder products with a long shelf life for easy transport and simplified food storage, reducing the risk of waste. Compared to traditionalspray-dried eggs that lose flavor, protein and texture during the heating process, ouregg crystals preserve the farm-fresh flavor whether they’re on the menu today or months from now. Discover the secrets behind our innovative real-egg products primed to minimize food waste and spending.
Based in Iowa, our operations center around real eggs from local farmers and businesses here in the heartland. Iowa’s agricultural excellence for corn and soy products also shines through in the quality and quantity of eggs produced from chickens raised here. Our geographical position allows us to source and transport farm-fresh shell eggs safely over a short distance so we can get to work delivering our tasty, nutritious egg products around the world.
Most reputable egg powder products are made of real eggs, but not all powdered eggs are created equal. Depending on the process and the temperature the eggs are dried at, key factors like flavor, nutrition and function get lost in translation. OvaEasy’s one-of-a-kind egg crystallization process protects the nutrients and taste of our farm-fresh eggs. We accomplish this with our proprietary crystal drying technology, which allows the eggs to dry at one-third of the typical temperature compared to traditional egg powders. This involves removing excess moisture without sacrificing the real-egg essence. When you later add water to our egg crystals as directed, you can cook and bake with them and prepare them like you would shell eggs.
All of our egg crystal products are pasteurized to USDA standards for shelf stability and food safety. Starting with the local farm-fresh eggs we’ve sourced, pasteurization involves heating the liquid eggs up to USDA-regulated temperatures to safely eliminate harmful bacteria present in raw eggs. To preserve liquid eggs after pasteurization, they are typically frozen or spray-dried. Freezing damages the egg, causing water to release when it is eventually cooked. When preserved as egg powder through a traditional high-heat spray-drying process, you get denaturing of the protein and diminishing flavor. Not at OvaEasy! Our egg crystallization process transforms fresh liquid egg directly into our unique egg crystals through our low-temperature drying technology.
Our innovative egg drying process uses a proprietary belt system to heat eggs slowly, with a thin layer of egg warming up between hot water and hot air. But “heat” is relative at OvaEasy because our temperatures are only a third of the high temps traditional spray-dry facilities operate at. Spray-dried egg powder is typically produced at temperatures exceeding 390 degrees, while our egg crystals are heated consistently below the boiling point of water. At blazing 390-degree heat, the spray-dried egg essentially cooks in the dryer before it becomes a powder, reducing its flavor profile as it’s packaged and reheated elsewhere by home cooks or for commercial food service and industrial baking applications. At low temperatures, we’re able to eliminate 80% of the moisture without altering its flavor or nutritional composition.
As a finishing step, we use freeze-drying technology to gently release moisture without causing heat damage to the product. The farm-fresh eggs we started out with regain their natural look and flavor when cooked and prepared as directed, but in convenient crystal form for worry-free shipping, hassle-free food storage and flavorful, protein-packed products. Our customers enjoy OvaEasy’s flexibility and functionality ideal for use in home meals, commercial food service, industrial baking, camping, wholesale, military rations, disaster relief and more. Spray-drying has dominated the industry for decades because no other company has the capabilities and technology OvaEasy has. We’re changing the standard for pasteurized egg products while fulfilling our mission to reduce food waste and feed the world.
Spray drying enables the cheap production of pasteurized eggs at scale by using high temperatures to rapidly dry out the product into a powder. What started in the 1930s as a convenient solution to make eggs usable in industrial food products and commodities came at a cost: less function, flavor and nutritional value in egg products and ingredients today. These high temperatures ruin egg whites and denature the protein, resulting in off flavors and textures when the powder is later prepared and cooked in liquid form. To compensate, these products often contain non-natural flavor additives with no nutritional value. Using our low-temperature egg crystallization process, we ensure eggs never reach that point of no return, maintaining real flavor from start to finish, no preservatives, gums, citric acid, starches or other additives needed. OvaEasy is 100% real egg.
We can’t be the only ones that think there needs to be better options for easier storage and longer shelf life for eggs than spray-dried or frozen, water-logged blocks of eggs. Rest assured, OvaEasy is the only company in the world able to give you the best with shelf-stable, flavorful and fully one-of-a-kind egg crystals.
