Five unique suggestions for a breakfast with eggs

1. Eggs – a source of valuable nutrients with high value
Chicken eggs are a product of high nutritional value. Egg protein is absorbed by the human body by more than 90%. On the other hand, egg yolk contains the highest amount of vitamins and minerals. Chicken eggs are also a source of fat, especially docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which belongs to a group of polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids. Other significant compounds present in eggs are lutein and zeaxanthin. They are carotenoids, which play a crucial role in maintaining the proper functioning of the human body. Choline and lecithin are also components of chicken eggs. Choline, which is the main component of yolk, is part of lecithin. The latter has a positive effect on the functioning of the human nervous system, improves concentration and cognitive processes. The best solution is to eat a whole chicken egg, which ensures an adequate supply of all nutrients (J. Kijowski, G. Leśnierowski, R. Cegielska-Radziejewska 2013).2. Which eggs are most suitable to select
The marking on eggs is not arbitrary. The initial digit in the code refers to the type of farming. The number 3 signifies cage farming, while the number 2 signifies barn farming. Eggs marked in this way are not a prudent choice due to the conditions of poultry farming and the quality of their feed. The optimum eggs are those marked with the number 1, which denotes they are free-range, and those from organic farming, which are marked with the number 0. Other characters in the code denote the country of origin, e.g. PL, and the subsequent digits indicate the county, region, scope of activity, and type of farm from which they originate. Ultimately, the most judicious choice is eggs marked with the numbers 0 or 1, as they originate from chickens that live in superior conditions, and the nutritional content of their feed influences the nutritional composition of eggs.3.
