About One whole egg
One whole egg is a versatile and nutrient-packed food enjoyed globally across countless cuisines. A staple in cooking, its origins date back thousands of years, with eggs being a dietary cornerstone in cultures such as French, Chinese, and Indian. One egg contains about 70 calories, offering high-quality protein essential for muscle repair and growth. The egg white is nearly pure protein, while the yolk provides vitamins like B12, D, and choline, along with healthy fats and essential minerals. It’s a good source of antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, beneficial for eye health. However, the yolk is higher in cholesterol, which may require moderation for individuals keeping a close watch on such intake. Eggs are naturally low in carbohydrates, making them popular in low-carb and keto diets. Their versatility makes them an irreplaceable pantry item, perfect for breakfast dishes, baked goods, and savory meals alike.
