Eggs are one of the most nutritious and versatile foods available, enjoyed by people of all age groups — from infants and adults to patients and fitness enthusiasts. Whether boiled, scrambled, poached, or eaten by making different dishes.
Eggs are a staple in diets across the world and are often referred to as a “powerhouse of nutrition.”
To recognise their health benefits and cultural value, June 3 is celebrated as National Egg Day. This day aims to promote awareness about the nutritional importance of eggs and to encourage people to include them in their daily diets in creative and healthy ways.
