Nutrition tip: why eat whole pastured eggs
Whole eggs are one of the most nutritious foods on the planet, containing a little bit of almost every nutrient the human body needs.
The nutrients found in an egg are distributed between the yolk and the white, which is way I always recommend eating the whole egg if possible. One of my favourite nutrients found in eggs is choline. Phosphatidylcholine is the most abundant phospholipid in our body and is essential for healthy cell membranes, so when you eat eggs, you can rest assured knowing you are supporting your cellular health!
All the B vitamins are also found in eggs, including vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, choline, biotin, and folate. Eggs also contain significant amounts of selenium, vitamin A, and even Vitamin D.
Pastured eggs have been shown to contain significantly more nutrients than factory raised eggs, so make sure you always source pastured varieties.
