Eggs have been recognized as a protein plant for many years because they contain the highest quality naturally available protein. However, the benefits of eating eggs are far greater than just protein, with eggs providing a healthy and sustainable source of essential nutrients needed for all stages of life.
Containing most of the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants needed by the human body, eggs are often called the “vitamin pills” of nature and for good reason. Eggs contain 13 essential nutrients, including vitamins A, B and E, as well as folate, iron and zinc.

Another essential nutrient that can be found in eggs is vitamin D, which is crucial for strengthening healthy bones and teeth. An estimated 1 billion people have low levels of vitamin D, and eggs are one of the few foods that naturally contain this essential nutrient.
However, not only do the significant health benefits make eggs a great food choice to support healthy diets, eggs also have significant sustainability competencies that make them a great choice to feed a growing global population.
