Don’t toss these egg yolks!

Regardless of all of the optimistic press and ‘Eggs are Good For You’ headlines recently, it’s a bit of shocking for this dietitian that I nonetheless see recipes and references suggesting that the healthiest technique to eat an egg is whites solely – and to toss these brilliant yellow yolks.

However right here’s the fact: Simply as with different boldly coloured meals – like kale versus iceberg lettuce – the brilliant shade of a yolk indicators it comprises a few of the highest focus of vitamins.

Right this moment, over on the Egg Vitamin Middle’s Vitamin Unscrambled weblog, I’m ticking off all of the vitamins discovered within the egg yolk; it’s a goldmine of diet. Right here’s only a snapshot what may be present in an egg yolk:

42% of the protein in a complete egg

100% of the zinc in a complete egg
100% of the iron in a complete egg
100% of the vitamin B6 in a complete egg
100% of the choline in a complete egg

To take pleasure in eggs for breakfast, lunch, a lightweight dinner and even dessert, I created this recipe for Apple Cheddar Bread Pudding Bites utilizing complete grain bread, apples, sharp Cheddar and sprinkle of nutmeg.

First, I made it in muffin pans and my youngsters ate the Bites as a grab-and-go breakfast; we favored them a lot we had them for dessert too. And with just one/2 cup sugar for the entire recipe, it’s a healthful dessert! I made the Apple Cheddar Bread Pudding once more and served it in a 9×13-inch dish for brunch.
