Eggs are one of the most nutritious foods money can buy - they are a natural source of many nutrients including high quality protein, vitamins and minerals. Eggs are naturally rich in vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B12, vitamin D, selenium and iodine. They also contain vitamin A and a number of other B vitamins including folate, biotin, pantothenic acid and choline, and essential minerals and trace elements, including phosphorus.

    Hello Anne, and many thanks for your comment.
    We love eggs in our house and eat them every day for breakfast!

    Eggs Can Lower Your Cholesterol - Eggs do contain cholesterol, however, studies have shown that those who consume eggs regularly had a reduced LDL and an increase in HDL (the good cholesterol).

  6. Scrambled eggs are a favourite with me - although it is best with a slice of well buttered toast! :-) However, this is now a VERY occasional treat - I usually add some cheese to the scramble and serve it with whatever leftover veggies happen to be around. Always a winner.

  8. Eggs are one of my favorite foods. Maybe I eat too many, but I can scramble two eggs and drink a cup of milk and I am barely hungry by noon. If I keep boiled eggs in the refrigerator, I will always choose an egg over more calorific foods.

  25. My Sue eats loads of eggs, so many that "What are you having for lunch?" is a bit of a standing joke. I'll get her to try this as a variation on scrambled or poached on toast.
