Do You Know These Amazing Facts About Eggs?

    Eggs are inexpensive source of high-quality protein and they are not that high in saturated fat, especially when compared to meat.

1.  Eating eggs is a great way to help shake off a great hangover.
2.  Softer yolks are better for you than...
harder yolks. The harder the yolk, the more oxidized cholesterol (which coincidentally may not be huge issue for people who eat just a few eggs occasionally, but the more eggs you eat the more it matters). Softer yolks are just better, period.

3.  It also helps maintain peak muscle function and helps prevent fatty liver by removing cholesterol from that organ. (Ironic, then, that eggs are shunned for their cholesterol content.)
4.  The colour of an egg’s shell (brown or white) depends on the hen’s genetics and has nothing to do with nutrition. Some chickens lay blue and green eggs.

 7.  Chickens aren’t the only birds that lay edible Eggs. Duck, quail, emu, goose, and ostrich eggs can all be cooked up.
