About Large eggs

Large eggs are a versatile and nutrient-rich food enjoyed in cuisines worldwide. Packed with high-quality protein, essential vitamins such as B12, D, and riboflavin, and important minerals like selenium and phosphorus, they support muscle growth, bone health, and immune function. Each large egg contains approximately 70 calories and 5 grams of fat, primarily unsaturated, which benefits heart health. Eggs are also a natural source of choline, important for brain development and metabolism. While their cholesterol content (about 185 mg per egg) was once debated, current research suggests moderate consumption aligns with a healthy diet for most people. Large eggs are foundational in countless dishes—from breakfast classics like omelets and scrambles to baked goods and international delicacies—making them a culinary staple. Whether boiled, fried, poached, or whisked into recipes, they are a convenient and affordable choice for balanced nutrition.
