How to separate egg yolk from egg white<\/p>\n

Separate your egg yolks from egg whites with these tricks.<\/p>\n

Problem Solved<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve all been there: Scanning the wide selection of eggs<\/a> in the supermarket, and deciphering the subtle differences in labels on egg cartons<\/a>. When eggs are labeled as organic, grade AA or cage-free, you might be wondering what those terms actually refer to. And beyond labels, what\u2019s the reason behind why eggs come in a range of colors? Hint: it\u2019s not their nutritional value.<\/p>\n

Yes, eggs are an excellent source of protein<\/a>. And on top of that, they contain a bunch of essential micronutrients, such as choline. So, during your next trip to the grocery store<\/a>, what\u2019s there to consider when purchasing eggs? We asked a dietitian to break it down.<\/p>\n

How much protein in an egg? How many calories in an egg?<\/p>\n

A standard large egg<\/a> contains around 74 calories, 6 grams of protein, 5 grams of fat and less than 1 gram of carbs, according to the USDA Food Data Central. Eggs are a good source of vitamin A, biotin (vitamin b7)<\/a> and antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, says Alison Kane, a registered dietitian and wellness program manager at Mass General Brigham. One of the most beneficial micronutrients found in eggs is choline; it\u2019s especially important during pregnancy, as it\u2019s a nutrient that\u2019s key for fetal development, she says.<\/p>\n

One large egg contains 207 milligrams of dietary cholesterol, the majority of which is concentrated in the egg yolk, says Kane. Through recent research<\/a>, we now know that the dietary cholesterol found in eggs is much less of a concern than previously thought. If you\u2019re worried about your cholesterol levels, it\u2019s more important to turn your attention toward your intake of saturated and trans fats (which eggs contain very little of), she says.<\/p>\n

Are boiled eggs good for you? <\/strong>Here’s what experts have to say.<\/a><\/p>\n

What\u2019s the difference between white eggs and brown eggs?<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s set the record straight: The real reason why eggs come in a variety of colors \u2013 brown, cream, white or speckled \u2013 isn’t related to their nutritional value<\/a>. Ultimately, it comes down to the breed of the hen that laid the egg, says Kane.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also worth noting the color of the egg yolk isn\u2019t usually reflective of an egg\u2019s nutritional content, Kane says. One might assume eggs with more of an orange tint might have more nutritional benefits, but it’s not always tied to an improvement in health<\/a>, she explains. \u201cIt\u2019s more so the type of feed that the birds are fed,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
