Eggs are a highly nutritious and versatile food, prized globally for their protein, vitamins, and minerals. They are used in countless culinary applications, from standalone dishes to key ingredients in baking and sauces.
Eggs are considered a complete protein source, meaning they contain all nine essential amino acids. A single large boiled egg (50g) contains approximately:
Calories: 77 kcal
Protein: 6.3 g
Fat: 5.3 g (mostly healthy fats)
Vitamins: Significant amounts of Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, and others.
Minerals: A good source of selenium, phosphorus, choline, and more.
While they contain cholesterol, most research indicates that dietary cholesterol has little effect on blood cholesterol for most people.
