Eggs
Eggs are a nutrient-dense animal protein containing all nine essential amino acids in optimal proportions for human nutrition. The yolk provides concentrated fats, cholesterol, and micronutrients like choline and vitamin D, while the egg white consists almost entirely of protein and water. Though most commonly cooked, raw eggs are used in dressings and batters, with pasteurized versions recommended to minimize salmonella risk in uncooked applications.
