Eggs

🥚 Eggs — a quick guide

Eggs are one of the most versatile, affordable, and nutrient-dense foods you can eat. Here’s a clear breakdown:

🍳 Nutrition basics

• High-quality protein: ~6–7g per egg
• Rich in vitamins: B12, D, A, riboflavin
• Contains healthy fats (mostly in the yolk)
• Choline: important for brain function

🍽️ Common ways to cook eggs

• Boiled (soft or hard) – simple, portable
• Fried (sunny-side up, over-easy) – crispy edges, runny yolk
• Scrambled – soft and fluffy
• Poached – no added fat, delicate texture
• Baked – used in dishes like frittatas or casseroles

🧊 Storage tips

• Keep them in the fridge (not the door)
• Store in original carton to avoid absorbing odors
• Typically last 3–5 weeks refrigerated

⚖️ Brown vs. white eggs

• No real nutritional difference
• Color depends on the breed of the hen
