An egg is a versatile, nutrient-packed food that serves as a staple in cuisines worldwide. Encased in a hard, protective shell, it houses two primary components: the yolk and the albumen (egg white). The yolk is rich in fats, vitamins, and minerals, lending a creamy texture and bright yellow color, while the albumen is primarily composed of water and proteins, turning translucent when raw and white when cooked.
Eggs vary in size, color, and flavor depending on the species of bird, with chicken eggs being the most commonly consumed. The shell color ranges from white to deep brown and even blue or green in some breeds, with no significant difference in taste or nutritional value.
Not only are eggs celebrated for their culinary versatility — from scrambled, fried, or poached to being the backbone of baked goods — but they are also symbolic in various cultures, often representing life, fertility, and renewal.
