Regular Eggs

Regular eggs are a staple in many diets, valued for their high-quality protein and versatility in cooking. They contain essential vitamins and minerals, including B vitamins, vitamin D, and choline.

1. Source: Consider the source of the eggs. Eggs from free-range or pasture-raised hens are often higher in omega-3 fatty acids.

2. Freshness: Check sell-by or expiration dates to ensure freshness. Fresh eggs will sink in water and lie flat on their sides.

3. Storage: Store eggs in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and minimize the risk of salmonella.

4. Dietary Impact: Although eggs are high in cholesterol, recent studies suggest that for most people, they do not significantly impact blood cholesterol levels as previously thought.

Opt for free-range or pasture-raised if possible, as they often provide higher nutritional value and are produced more sustainably. Check for freshness and store eggs properly to maintain their quality and safety.
