Eggs are a good source of low-cost, high-quality protein.  Dietary protein provides us with amino acids that we use to make our muscles, tissues, skin, immune system antibodies, nutrient-carrying  transport proteins and many other compounds vital to physiological function!  

Eggs also promote healthy thyroid function (iodine), brain  health (choline), heart health, and eye health (carotenoid lutein).  Eggs have additional health-promoting benefits.  They contain nutrients that help with bone-building vitamin D, K and phosphorus, energy producing (vitamin B2 and B5),  and more!  

Make sure you choose your EGGS from organic, cage-free chickens!
