Egg

Egg is a versatile ingredient used worldwide in baking, breakfast dishes and savory cooking; whole eggs are valued for their binding, emulsifying and leavening properties as well as their role in many traditional cuisines. They are a concentrated source of high-quality protein, providing about 12.4g of protein per 100g, and are also notable for supplying vitamin B12 and selenium. Nutritionally, eggs deliver well-balanced amino acids and promote fullness, while also contributing fats (including some saturated fat) that make them a calorie-dense, nutrient-rich choice for many meals.
