What it is

Eggs are laid by female birds, most commonly chickens for food. The egg consists of a protective shell, albumen (egg white), and vitellus (egg yolk). They are a natural source of protein, vitamins, and minerals.

Why it's used

Eggs are used in baking for their binding, leavening, and emulsifying properties. They contribute to the structure, richness, and moisture of cakes, cookies, and pastries. Eggs are also used as a coating or binder in savory dishes.

Health notes

Eggs are considered a nutrient-dense food. The FDA recognizes eggs as a source of protein and essential nutrients. While eggs contain cholesterol, current dietary guidelines suggest that cholesterol in food has a less significant impact on blood cholesterol levels for most people than previously thought. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated eggs and their components.

Allergen info

Eggs are one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. Individuals with an egg allergy must avoid all foods containing eggs or egg derivatives.
