Eggs contain an array of essential nutrients, including choline, which aids in brain development and function; vitamin A, promoting eye health, resilient skin and a robust immune system, and vitamin D, playing a pivotal role in bone health. Furthermore, eggs are packed with high-quality protein, essential for the strength and repair of muscles and tissues.
Eggs represent an important source of income for worldwide economy. In particular, in countries with low-middle income, eggs’ market represents a fundamental source of sustainability for many families. Eggs are a high-quality protein but economically accessible to everyone, allowing every individual to provide a fundamental apport for a complete and balanced diet. They are also the source of protein with the lowest environmental impact as they require little water: the environmental footprint of an egg is 29 liters per gram of protein, a great saving compared, for example, to hazelnuts which require 139 liters of water per gram of protein.
