Eggs have often been described by nutritionists as a large vitamin cocktail. Not only do eggs contain the highest quality of protein with the right mix of essential amino acids to build tissues, but are also said to possess nutrients second only to mother’s milk. To celebrate the versatility and health benefits of the egg, every year, since 1966, the second Friday in October is celebrated as World Egg Day. To help you celebrate this day, The GUIDE has whipped up a handy selection of dishes that salute the humble egg.
