Eggs

Eggs are reproductive units produced by female animals, such as birds, reptiles, and fish, containing developing embryos. Commonly consumed in diets worldwide, especially chicken eggs, they are rich sources of high-quality protein, vitamins, and minerals essential for human health. Eggs have a shell that protects the internal contents: the egg white (albumen), which provides proteins and water, and the yolk, which supplies fats, vitamins, and minerals. They are versatile in cooking and baking, valued for their nutritional content and functional properties like binding and emulsifying.
