And now, a message from the Egg Nutrition Center: Eggs Rule! Eggs provide the highest-quality protein available. They contain all of the essential amino acids, plus a yolk-load of key vitamins and minerals. ( Disclaimer: I am an avowed eggaholic.)
No yolk, the yolk of an egg is a "nutrient goldmine." It contains 100% of the egg's choline, vitamin B12, vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin B16, iron, vitamin E, and zinc.
The yolk also provides 96% of the egg's folate, 93% of its phosphorous, and 59% of its selenium.
So while the white part of the egg supplies 58% of the protein, don't omit the yolk!
" Scrambled eggs,
Oh my baby how I love your legs..."
Original lyrics to "Yesterday" by Paul McCartney
