The hidden gems of a healthy diet...

Good morning. With all that's been going on I just recently realized I hadn't posted the last installment of the incredible edible egg series. This last segment briefly touches on nutrition, selection & safety, and "organic" eggs. I hope you find it of interest along with the prior installments, and I do apologize for the time delay with this last chapter in the series.

As for nutrition, the egg is a true jewel. Although eggs are a bit high in cholesterol, they still play a part in a healthy diet and are one of the best forms of protein you can eat. At 75 calories, one large egg contains 13 vitamins, is one of the only natural sources for vitamin D, and contains just 7% of the daily value for fat. So either boiled, fried, scrambled, or poached, you can't go wrong by including eggs in your regular diet.
