Egg
Egg is a very nutritious high-protein food and indispensable in the kitchen. It can be cooked on its own or as an ingredient in countless recipes! Nutritionwise, egg is the best source of protein as it contain all kinds of amino acids (basic blocks of proteins) human needs in a proper proportion. It is also a good source of riboflavin, vitamin B12, selenium and phosporus, which are important source of these nutrients to a vegetarian. On the other hand, eggs contains a high percentage of saturated fat and cholesterol. If a person is having high cholesterolaemia or at risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, it’s often recommended to limit the amount of eggs consumed each week. The fact is all these nutrients are stored in the yolk but not in the white, so he/she can still enjoy eggs as long as they control the amount of yolk consumed.
