About Eggs

Eggs are versatile and nutritious, widely used in cuisines worldwide. Rich in protein, vitamins D, B12, and selenium, they support muscle repair, immune health, and energy production. The yolk contains healthy fats, essential fat-soluble vitamins, and choline, vital for brain function and liver health. Eggs are low in carbohydrates but deliver high-quality protein that keeps you fuller longer. Originating as a staple food in diverse cultures, they feature prominently in breakfasts, baked goods, and savory dishes. Though their cholesterol content once raised concern, recent studies suggest that moderate consumption of eggs can fit into a heart-healthy diet for most people. They provide antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, promoting eye health. However, some individuals may need to moderate their intake due to dietary restrictions or allergies. Simple to prepare and packed with nutrients, eggs are a true powerhouse in balanced eating.
