In many ancient traditions, the egg was considered more than just food—it symbolized the origin of the universe. That sense of completeness endures, even nutritionally. Eggs contain all nine essential amino acids the body can’t produce on its own, making them a complete and easily digestible source of protein.

Eggs also support brain function, improve eyesight, and boost muscle strength.
