Eggs - pile them on! Crack on and start your day off with these egg-citing breakfast recipes Recipes supplied by: THE SOUTH AFRICAN POULTRY ASSOCIATION When it comes to eggs, the more the merrier. Apparently, South Africans eat 146 eggs per person a year, but for optimal health, we should be eating more. The Department of Health’s dietary guidelines encourage us to eat eggs in moderation every day. Why? Because eggs offer a lot of nutritional bang for your buck when it comes to a healthy and balanced diet. They are an excellent source of high-quality protein, as well as nutrients like choline, zinc, vitamin A, phosphorous, iodine, and some B vitamins. The good news is that South Africans recognise the benefits of eggs. A study found that South African egg consumption has increased a whopping 24 per cent from 1999 to 2021. Eggs are a wise choice in the diet of pregnant women especially, as they contain choline, a nutrient essential for a baby’s brain development. The egg yolk is where much of the choline is contained, so it’s important to not toss the yellow. Eggs are great for babies, too. One study found that 148 babies who were fed one egg a day for six months had higher intakes of protein, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, cholesterol, phosphorous, B5, B7, B12, vitamin D, vitamin E and iron than babies in the study who didn’t eat eggs. And none of these babies developed an egg allergy. Details: Like EGGcellentFood on Facebook and follow @eggcellentfoodsa on Instagram.
