Nutriom is a small family-owned company located in Panora, IA that has developed a unique technology to dehydrate eggs to produce a freeze-dried range of products. OvaEasy® has a three-year shelf-life extended to seven years with oxygen and UV barriers. The range of products has a clean label and retains functional properties without addition of gums, colors or flavoring agents.
Nutriom was founded in 2001to produce a product differentiated from conventional spray dried egg powder. The patented process comprises low-temperature, continuous drying at levels lower than the threshold of denaturation so that functionality and flavor are preserved.
Nutriom is a major supplier to the U. S. military, providing crews of vessels including nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers with egg dishes that are palatable through extended voyages.
The range of OvaEasy® products includes Whole-egg Crystals and the Egg in a Cup™ presentation for single serving breakfasts. The Nutriom range includes freeze-dried egg white protein and a keto-protein powder for high-fat, low-carb shakes.
According to the CEO, Leonardo Etcheto, the OvaEasy® range is ideal for remote locations including military installations and marine oil-rigs. The product has gained acceptance by campers and organizations responding to events such as hurricanes and tornados.
A 41/2 ounce pouch contains the equivalent of 12 eggs and can be reconstituted with water to be served as a scramble or omelet with range-top or microwave cooking. Closed bags of OvaEasy® do not require refrigeration.
