About Egg, whole, raw, fresh
Few ingredients are as versatile as the humble chicken egg. A whole raw egg is really two foods in one shell: a protein-rich white and a fat-and-nutrient-dense yolk, each prized in the kitchen for very different reasons.
Eggs are a yardstick for protein quality — they hold every essential amino acid in close to the ideal proportions, which is why they are so often used as the standard other proteins are measured against. The yolk carries most of what lies beyond the protein: vitamin B12, riboflavin, vitamin D, choline for the brain and liver, and the eye-protecting pigments lutein and zeaxanthin. A large egg runs about 70 to 80 calories.
Eggs spent years being blamed for their cholesterol, but the research has largely walked that back for most healthy people. Worth remembering, though: raw eggs carry a small risk of salmonella, so cooking them is the safer choice.
