Hey Folks,

 

    

     How do you like your eggs - Sunny-side up, over-easy, scrambled, or perhaps raw? Consuming eggs raw is an excellent way to take advantage of the nutrient-density of eggs without heating and oxidizing any cholesterol in the yolk. Just make sure that they are fresh and from healthy, pastured chickens of course.

     

     One thing to keep in mind is that raw egg whites contain enzyme inhibitors and anti-nutrients that prevent the absorption of nutrients.  One enzyme inhibitor prevents protein digestions, and one of the anti nutrients binds to the nutrient Biotin. Because of these enzyme inhibitors and anti-nutrients, I like to separate the yolk from the white and only consume the yolks when raw. The yolks are where the majority of the nutrients are.

 

     What to do with all those whites? They can either be cooked lightly to neutralize the anti-nutrients, or they can be used to clarify a broth.

     When I make bone broth, I simmer bones and vegetable scraps for 12 to 24 hours. I strain the broth and what's left in the end is a mineral and collagen-rich liquid with small bits of protein floating in it. One way of getting the stray protein out of the broth is to make an egg white "raft."

     This involves whisking about 5 egg whites into the strained stock, which has been brought to a simmer. The egg whites will coagulate, rise to the top, and act as a filter - binding to the proteins in the broth. The broth is simmered for about an hour with the raft.

 

     These practices (eating raw yolks and clarified broth) can be especially helpful for people who suffer from "leaky gut" syndrome.  A leaky gut means that the lining of the small intestine is damaged, and strands of protein are "leaked" directly into the blood stream.        

  

     Eating only the raw yolks of eggs and using the white to remove potentially problematic proteins (say that five times fast) from the broth is an excellent way to get the most out of these two nutrient dense foods.

 

     This week we are offering a free package of knuckle bones with any order of $50 or more at www.son-riseranch.com. See below for details and a coupon code.

 

 

     We are currently working on getting eggs from our pastured, organic fed, hens for sale at the markets. Stay tuned...

 

 

 

 

 See you at the market,

Tips for ordering on the Web

My Rewards 

The SonRise Ranch Store Rewards Program is a great way to earn rewards and save money on products that you regularly purchase with SonRise Ranch. For every dollar you spend, you will receive 5 rewards points. All the points are tracked on our web store, so only purchases made though your Son-RiseRanchStore.com account will be accounted for. If you don't feel comfortable in purchasing through the web store, you can call our office and we can take your order over the phone, and you will receive points for these purchases as well. Points will not be credited for purchases directly at the farmer's market, so be sure to use the web store and order ahead!

 

For each 100 points you earn you can receive $1 in credit towards SonRise Ranch products (to earn 100 points you must spend $20 online). Points are redeemable in 2000 point / $20 increments only. You can receive points for any purchase made through our web store or over the phone (excluding CSA and Quarter Beefs). Your point balance can be checked by logging into your online account under "Other Features > My Rewards".

 

Here's how it works:

 

1. Once you've placed your order and it has shipped, your MyRewards Points will be redeemable for your next purchase. Excludes CSA and Quarter Beef purchases.

 

2. To view your MyRewards, simply go to MyRewards. You can visit this page at any time through your web store account to review your points balance, under "Other Features > My Rewards".

 

3. Enter the total amount (in points) you'd like to redeem below (100 points = $1). Must be redeemed in increments of 2000 points / $20.00.

 

4. Once you click Redeem Now, you are now ready to save on your next purchase. Upon placing your order, your available MyRewards will automatically be deducted from the total purchase amount.

 

5. Purchases made using your MyRewards are ineligible to receive additional points.
