“The hen’s egg is an almost perfect food. It not only tastes good; it contains almost every food element necessary for human nutrition, and they are all in perfect balance. A human being could survive on a diet of eggs, provided he or she also ate citrus fruit. The only essential nutrient lacking in eggs is vitamin C.

A human being could survive on a diet of eggs, provided he or she also ate citrus fruit. The only essential nutrient lacking in eggs is vitamin C.The logo of the American Egg Board is a hand holding an egg, with the words “The incredible edible egg.” The egg truly is incredible! It contains easily digested amino acids (protein), carbohydrates, fats, and important minerals such as phosphorus, potassium, iron, and magnesium. With the exception of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), the egg contains every other vitamin known to be needed by humans.”
When you think about it, the yolk of the egg is really just a big vitamin that the chick would eat right before he hatches. It gives him enough energy and nutrients to sustain him for 24 hours when he hops out and starts eating grain and little pebbles. The albumen (egg white) is really just a little calcium and water, still good for you but not near so fascinating as the yolk.
