Eggs

Functional Foods

Eggs are one of nature's most nutrient-dense whole foods, providing high-quality protein, choline, lutein, zeaxanthin, and a broad spectrum of essential vitamins and minerals. Research suggests that the choline found abundantly in egg yolks plays an important role in brain health, supporting memory and cognitive function, while the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin have been studied for their potential to support eye health and reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration. Studies indicate that eggs may also contribute to weight management by promoting satiety and helping to maintain lean muscle mass due to their complete amino acid profile. Pasture-raised eggs in particular have been associated with higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins, though all forms offer meaningful nutritional support as part of a balanced diet.
