In the run up to Easter, I thought it would be fitting to share a fact or two on eggs and their nutritional value. So here it is!

Eggs contain more selenium and vitamin D and fewer calories than they did 30 years ago, thanks to better feed for hens.

They’re also a great source of high-quality protein and essential amino acids.

And despite what most dieters think, don’t throw away the yolk ­– it’s where all the nutrients are.
