On Saturday, June 9, 2018, a half dozen creative people worked their fingers to the bone chopping and prepping fruit and vegetables for a lifestyle products photo shoot on the top floor of a luxury condominium at King and Dufferin. The rental unit near the top of 38 Joe Shuster Way just happened to have an incredible view of a historic ‘home opener’ rugby game happening twenty floors below in Lamport Stadium.  On that day the Toronto Wolfpack trounced the visiting London Broncos and Sharing Toronto was there to raise an egg powered fruit smoothie on their behalf.

CanEggs Canadian egg white powder is exactly as it sounds. The pale yellow powder is made from hundreds of chicken eggs minus their yolks, and dried to a powder.  In its dehydrated state, the natural product has a shelf life of nine months. The powder is made by pressure spraying albumen (egg whites) through incredibly fine-nozzles, and then drying the mist while still airborne (spray dried) until the natural substance is a fine powder that can be scooped-up and added to meals as instant protein.

That afternoon, six artists gathered to use CanEggs Egg White Powder product to make food and beauty masks and then photograph their creations. The organizers put a half dozen creative people in the room to test ideas for health and beauty recipes that consumers can make and try themselves at home.  The mandate was to use the Canadian poultry-sourced powder to make delicious fruit smoothies and skin rejuvenating face masks; we were to record our thoughts and tastes preferences and photograph our work for the website.
