Nutrition Tip
Eggs are high in protein and are a good source of vitamin B12, riboflavin, and selenium. Egg white is almost pure protein, packed with amino acids. The yolk contains vitamin A and D.
Eggs also contain lutein and zeaxanthin, which may have antioxidant properties. Look for eggs with omega-3s for added benefit.
