About Huevo

Huevo, the Spanish word for egg, is a versatile and nutrient-dense food consumed worldwide. Originating from poultry, particularly chickens, eggs are essential in countless cuisines, from Spanish tortillas to French omelets. They are an excellent source of high-quality protein, essential amino acids, and vital nutrients like vitamin B12, riboflavin, selenium, and choline, which supports brain health. Additionally, eggs contain lutein and zeaxanthin, antioxidants that are beneficial for eye health. While their moderate fat content, including heart-healthy unsaturated fats, contributes to satiety, their yolks contain dietary cholesterol, which some individuals may need to monitor. Eggs are low in carbohydrates, making them a popular choice in low-carb and high-protein diets. Whether boiled, scrambled, or poached, eggs are a nutritious and affordable staple, though preparation methods and added ingredients can affect their overall health profile.
