About Whole egg

The whole egg is a versatile and nutrient-dense food enjoyed across global cuisines for centuries. Comprising a yolk and white, eggs are a rich source of high-quality protein, essential vitamins like B12, riboflavin, and minerals such as selenium and iron. The yolk contains healthy fats, including omega-3s, along with important nutrients like vitamin D and choline, which support brain function and cell health. While eggs are considered a staple in everything from breakfast dishes to baked goods, they are especially prominent in European, Asian, and American cuisines. Despite their nutritional benefits, whole eggs contain cholesterol, primarily in the yolk, which some individuals monitor for heart health concerns. Overall, eggs are a balanced, affordable, and highly adaptable food that fits into most diets when consumed in moderation.
