Eggs are one of nature's most perfectly balanced and nutrient-dense foods.
Each egg contains a percentage of 13 vitamins, including A, D, E, K and B-complex, and minerals like iron that are all essential for good health. For people with normal cholesterol levels, recent research notes that eating an egg a day will not increase blood cholesterol levels. Eggs don't just come in the shell. Eggs can be frozen, and dried or refrigerated as liquid egg products. In addition, extracted compounds are used in medicine and medical technology, cosmetics and other non-food products and pharmaceuticals.
