Eggs, a staple in cuisines worldwide, are prized for their versatility and nutritional profile. Whole eggs consist of two main parts: the yolk and the white. The egg white is rich in protein and low in calories, while the yolk contains essential fats, vitamins (such as D, E, and B12), minerals, and choline—a nutrient crucial for brain health. Originating from poultry like chickens, eggs are key ingredients in dishes from French omelets to Asian stir-fries and baked goods globally. They are an excellent source of complete protein, offering all essential amino acids, which support muscle growth and repair. However, the yolks are higher in cholesterol, which some individuals may need to monitor as part of a balanced diet. Eggs are low in carbohydrates and can support weight management and energy needs, making them a nourishing choice when consumed moderately as part of a diverse diet.
