Why do we love eggs? For one thing, their nutritional chops:

• Eggs are an excellent source of protein, with the ratio of amino acids they contain making them the gold standard for rating the protein quality in all foods.

• Yolks contain lecithin, which helps the body digest fat and cholesterol, and is the source of choline, essential for the fetal brain.

• Eggs contain many antioxidants that, among other things, help fight cancer and are good for the eyes.

• They have high levels of biotin, a B vitamin essential for healthy hair, skin and nerves.
