🥚 World Egg Day | 9 October 💚
Today we celebrate one of the most versatile and nutrient-rich foods on the menu — the humble egg!
Eggs can form part of a balanced diet and are especially valuable because they provide high-quality protein together with a variety of important vitamins and minerals.
Did you know?
- One large egg provides roughly 6–7 g of protein.
- Eggs contain all nine essential amino acids, making them a complete protein source.
- They are a good source of vitamin B12, selenium and choline.
- Choline plays an important role in brain and nervous-system function.
- The yolk contains nutrients such as lutein and zeaxanthin, which are associated with eye health.
- Eggs are also wonderfully versatile — scrambled, boiled, poached, baked or added to a nourishing meal.
At GERATEC, good food is about more than nutrition. It is about enjoyment, choice, familiarity and creating meaningful mealtime experiences for older persons.
