The Egg White

After over 70 years, we’re on a first name basis with the egg white. Which is why we call it by its less common name, the Albumen. It’s here where an egg really starts getting good, accounting for 3 g of protein and Vitamin B₂ (also known as riboflavin).

A Whole Lot of Good

When you include eggs in your diet, you’re treating yourself to the benefits of nutrients like lutein and zeaxanthin - known to reduce the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration - and the neurological nutrient choline. They’re also a source of Omega 3 polyunsaturates, which is essential to get from food sources since our bodies can’t produce the essential omega-3 fats we need.
