Local Innovation - Branded Eggs

Ever seen a brand stamp on eggs ??? Here you go


I saw these "desi-eggs" during my recent vacation in Delhi. Other than marketer's stamp on the shell, the colour of egg shell is a little brownish-yellow. They came in market recently and are known to have more energy than traditional white-shell eggs. Its like .. old wine in new shells .. ;-)

btw ... Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too ..
Enjoy the vacations ...
