Jajka, which means "eggs" in Polish, are a versatile and nutritious food commonly used in Polish cuisine and beyond. They are packed with high-quality protein, essential vitamins such as B12, D, and riboflavin, as well as minerals like iron, selenium, and phosphorus. Eggs also contain healthy fats, primarily from their yolk, though this part is also higher in cholesterol. Despite concerns about cholesterol, moderate consumption of eggs is considered heart-healthy for most people and can aid in building muscle and supporting brain function. Jajka are often featured in Polish dishes like jajecznica (scrambled eggs) or included in baking and salads. They’re a staple in global diets because they are affordable, nutrient-dense, and easy to prepare. However, they should be consumed in balance, and individuals with cholesterol concerns may benefit from consulting a healthcare provider regarding egg consumption.
