Follow Your Heart Vegan Egg
It’s been long debated whether the chicken or the egg came first, but, high street health retailer, Holland & Barrett, has made sure it was one of the first in line to stock a new batch of Vegan Egg made from algae.
New to their high-street stores this month, Vegan Egg is a 100% plant-based egg replacer made from algal, an ingredient derived from algae. Just one 114g box makes the equivalent of a dozen eggs, making it a tasty alternative for cakes, scrambled eggs and omelettes.
Proving once and for all that you can have all your egg benefits in one basket, the egg substitute contains 4.4 grams of fibre per serving and is suitable for those following vegan, dairy free and gluten free diets. As algal flour contains naturally high lipids and micronutrients the eggs replacer is also nutrient-dense and contains all essential amino acids.
Vegan Eggs are available in Holland & Barrett’s stores nationwide and online at www.hollandandbarrett.com. They are priced at £7.99 for 114g grams.

Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
