About Small egg

A small egg is a versatile and nutrient-rich food that originates from various poultry, commonly chickens. Each small egg is packed with high-quality protein, essential for muscle repair and overall body function. It contains vitamins like B12, riboflavin, and choline, which support brain health, along with minerals such as selenium and phosphorus. While the yolk is a source of healthy fats and vitamin D, it also contains cholesterol, making moderation important for those managing heart health. Small eggs are a staple ingredient across global cuisines, such as in Western breakfast dishes, Asian stir-fries, and baked goods worldwide. Their portability and simplicity make them a convenient option for quick meals or snacks. Whether boiled, scrambled, or baked, small eggs offer a satisfying and balanced blend of nutrients, though pairing them with a variety of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains is ideal for a well-rounded diet.
