The egg, the symbol of birth, of life and, therefore, of spring has been celebrated by
numerous cultures at this time of the year. Eggs were given as gifts at spring
festivals in ancient Egypt, Greece, Persia and Rome. They were often dyed red to
symbolize the power of the womb. Eggs, of course, still play an important role in
our springtime holidays, but the real power comes from handling and eating eggs at
this time of year. It is said that at the exact moment of the Equinox an egg can be
balanced on it's end because the earth is at it's ultimate balance point (if you try it,
write me and let me know how it went!)
So what does the egg have to offer us nutritionally?
Eggs for Balance
Despite the decline in egg consumption, they still make " ... important nutritional
contributions to the American diet," according to Dr. Won O. Song, PhD, and Jean M.
Kerver, MS, of the Food and Nutrition Database Research Center, Department of
Food Science and Human Nutrition, Michigan State University. They are nutritious,
tasty, versatile and convenient. Eggs are an excellent source of high-quality lean
protein and are far less expensive than most other animal-protein foods. Eggs also
provide significant amounts of several vitamins and minerals (vitamin A, riboflavin,
and others).
Although eggs contain a significant amount of cholesterol, they need not be
excluded from the diet. They just need to be eaten with education:
In 1 large egg, the yolk contains 5 grams total fat, 2 grams saturated fatty acids,
213 milligrams cholesterol, and 60 calories. The egg white contains 15 calories.
Eggs are one of the most nutritious foods you can eat. However, it is important that
you eat organic eggs. This is not necessarily cage-free or "free range" eggs.
According to Dr. Mercola of www.mercola.com, An egg is considered organic if the
chicken was only fed organic food and will not have bioaccumulated high levels of
pesticides from the grains (mostly bioengineered corn) fed to typical chickens.
