The Wonders of Eggs: Two Delicious Dinner Ideas

An organic free-range egg is often called nature’s multivitamin. One egg contains everything needed to develop a single fertilized cell into a full chicken.

Eggs are rich in vitamins, minerals, high-quality protein, healthy fats, and more:

• Vitamin B12

• Vitamin B2

• Vitamin A

• Vitamin B5

• Selenium, calcium, iron, potassium, zinc, manganese

In fact, eggs contain small amounts of nearly every nutrient the body needs.

What About Cholesterol?

Eggs were once blamed for raising cholesterol, and people were told to limit them.

Today, many studies show a more balanced picture. While eggs do contain cholesterol, they also contain lecithin, which helps regulate cholesterol levels. Lecithin is especially present when the yolk is slightly soft, not overcooked.

Shakshuka: A Colorful Nutritional Powerhouse

Shakshuka is one of the great wonders of North African cuisine, and for good reason.

• Onion rings, rich in sulfur and quercetin

• Carrot slices, full of beta-carotene

• Tomato cubes, loaded with lycopene

• Bell peppers in a range of vibrant colors

Season with turmeric, a powerful antioxidant, a pinch of black pepper to enhance absorption, and a bit of salt to bring out the flavors.

Finally, add the eggs.
