About Egg and egg white

Eggs are a versatile protein source found in cuisines worldwide, originating from domesticated birds like chickens. The egg consists of two main parts: the yolk and the egg white. Egg whites are primarily made up of water and proteins, including albumin, while the yolk contains fats, cholesterol, vitamins, and minerals such as vitamin D, choline, and iron. Egg whites are low in calories and fat, making them an excellent option for those focusing on protein intake or weight management. However, the yolk provides essential nutrients that support brain health, energy production, and overall wellness. Eggs are celebrated for their complete protein profile, containing all nine essential amino acids, but the cholesterol in yolks may be a concern for some individuals with specific dietary restrictions. Whether boiled, scrambled, or baked, eggs and egg whites offer flexibility in cooking and remain a staple in dishes across cultures.
