Egg Nutrition Facts

Egg

A whole Grade A egg provides complete protein and fat together with choline, vitamin B12, selenium, lutein, and other micronutrients. Protein supports tissue maintenance, while choline contributes to cell membranes and normal nervous-system function; the egg should not be marketed as a testosterone booster. Buy refrigerated eggs with clean, uncracked shells and store them in their original carton on an interior refrigerator shelf, not in the warmer door.
