EGGS ARE BEAUTIFUL FOR MINDS & BODIES NOW

There are a number of recent studies out that are showing that eating up to 3 eggs per day is really good for our bodies and minds.

1) Eating whole eggs together with raw vegetables helps our bodies to absorb carotenoids, antioxidants that reduce risk for heart disease and some cancers. (2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee Report)

2) Eggs are a superfood -- with high nutrient/calorie ratio. They are one of the best sources of choline.

3) Cholesterol found in eggs doesn’t adversely affect human blood LDL (bad) cholesterol and it positively impacts HDL (good) cholesterol.

4) Studies show that consuming Omega-3 enriched poultry and fish eggs (caviar) significantly reduces harmful triglycerides in the blood. (35, 36).

5) Eggs may reduce risk of stroke according to numerous studies.

6) Eggs improve brain, bone, eye, and skin health. They also support healthy body weight ratios.

Now that we’ve inspired you, we hope to inspire you even more the beautiful egg dishes we’ve collected for you below.

Michael Natkin, of Herbivoracious, found an exquisite egg dish at Canlis, in Seattle.

Canlis chef Jason Franey, formerly of New York’s Eleven Madison Park, created an egg fantasy with Asparagus with Sauce Gribiche, Quinoa “Tabouli” and Warm Egg Yolk.

One of the genius elements of this recipe is the fried egg yolk. To make it, egg yolks are whisked together and cooked, sous vide. They are then frozen into little spheres, rolled in panko, flash-deep-fried to develop a crisp “shell” and a melty middle, then cut in half and plated.

Natkin, a former software engineer who developed After Effects for Adobe and cool animations for Industrial Light and Magic, is a serious foodie at heart. He’s now fully committed to writing about and working with food.

Check out his blog and The Herbivoracious Cookbook, where you will find more beautiful egg recipes, among many other gems.

And check out ChefSteps, a great community of chefs who are into molecular cuisine, where Natkin cooks and codes.
