Eggs have 6 grams of protein!
Eggs are a protein-packed breakfast that helps sustain mental and physical energy throughout the day.
Eggs are rich in choline!
Eggs are rich in choline, which is a weird word but it’s a “good weird” because choline promotes normal cell activity, liver function and the transportation of nutrients throughout the body.
The color of an egg!
The color of an egg is determined by the hen’s earlobe. Brown and white eggs can be laid by white hens!
