About Egg, yolk, raw, frozen, salted
Eggs are one of the most versatile and affordable foods in the kitchen, and the chicken egg is by far the most common on grocery shelves. Each large egg packs about 70 to 80 calories into a tidy package of high-quality, complete protein, with the yolk carrying most of the vitamins, healthy fats, and nutrients such as choline, vitamin D, vitamin B12, lutein, and zeaxanthin. Once feared for their cholesterol, eggs are now recognized as a nutritious choice for most people when eaten in reasonable amounts.
They are endlessly adaptable, scrambled, fried, poached, boiled, or baked into countless dishes, and they do essential work in cooking, binding meatballs, leavening cakes, enriching breads, and thickening custards and sauces. Eggs are sold by grade and size, from medium to jumbo, and by production style such as cage-free, free-range, or pasture-raised, and they keep for several weeks refrigerated.
Cook them until the whites are set for food safety, and store them in their carton in the coldest part of the fridge rather than the door.
