About One egg

An egg is a compact powerhouse of nutrition and a versatile ingredient found in cuisines worldwide. Typically sourced from chickens, it consists of two main parts: the egg white and the yolk. The egg white is rich in high-quality protein while being low in calories and fat. The yolk, though higher in calories and fat, contains essential nutrients like Vitamin D, choline, selenium, and various B vitamins. Eggs also provide important antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, beneficial for eye health. Originating as a dietary staple in countless cultures, they are used in everything from breakfast dishes to baked goods and savory meals. While eggs are a nutritious option for most individuals, moderation is key, especially for those with cholesterol concerns, as the yolk does contain dietary cholesterol. Lightweight, nutrient-dense, and adaptable, eggs are a cornerstone of both traditional and modern diets.
