Ovo, derived from the Latin word for "egg," typically refers to whole eggs, a versatile and nutrient-dense food staple found in cuisines worldwide. Packed with high-quality protein, eggs contain essential amino acids, vitamins like B12, D, and choline, as well as minerals such as selenium and phosphorus. Their origins trace back to ancient civilizations, with eggs being a cornerstone in cooking, baking, and as a standalone dish in countless cultural recipes. Eggs are celebrated for supporting muscle building, brain health, and eye health due to lutein and zeaxanthin present in the yolk. While the whites are virtually fat-free and low-calorie, the yolk contains fat and cholesterol, leading to moderation recommendations for individuals managing cholesterol levels. Whether hard-boiled, scrambled, or used as an ingredient in culinary creations, ovo is a nutritious and highly adaptable food enjoyed globally.
