The Nutritious Egg
Eggs are one of the most nutritious foods money can buy.
They are a natural source of many nutrients including high quality protein, vitamins and minerals.
They are rich in vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B12 and vitamin D. Eggs also contain vitamin A and a number of other B vitamins including folate, biotin, pantothenic acid and choline.
Eggs also contain essential minerals and trace elements, including phosphorus, iodine and selenium.
A medium egg contains less than 80 calories.
With the previous limits on consumption due to their cholesterol content now removed, eggs are a healthy fast food for all the family, especially if combined with vegetables and salads as part of balanced meals.
