Have you ever thought of how can one single fertilized cell turn into a baby chicken?
It is because one whole egg is loaded with vitamins, high-quality protein, and good fats. Plus, other nutrients that are less known. One big egg contains:
– Selenium: 22% of the RDA
– Vitamin A: 6% of the RDA
– Vitamin B12 (cobalamin): 9% of the RDA
– Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid): 7% of the RDA
– Vitamin B2 (riboflavin): 15% of the RDA
Moreover, eggs hold small amounts of almost every vitamin and mineral required by the human body, including iron, calcium, manganese, folate, potassium, Vitamin E, and many more. Also, one big egg contains only 77 calories and 6 grams of High-Quality protein. Add to that a very small amount of carbohydrates.
PS: Most nutrients exist in the Yolk while the white contains only protein.
