EGGS
Eggs are one of nature’s nearly perfect protein foods and are used extensively in cooking because of their
ability to thicken, to bind and to form rigid structures in bakery products.
Eggs are high in protein, Vitamins A and B, and some minerals. The yolk has a fairly high cholesterol
content, so individuals who need to be concerned about the amount of fat in their diets may want to limit the
number of egg yolks they consume.
BUYING:
_ Grade A medium eggs are usually the best buy for most purposes.
_ Open the carton of eggs before you add them to your shopping basket to make sure none are cracked or
broken. Also check the "Best Before" date stamped on the carton.
_ There is no difference nutritionally between brown eggs and white eggs. Brown eggs are usually priced
higher than white eggs.
STORING:
_ Store eggs in the refrigerator. They will stay fresher if kept in the carton
