They are also one of New Zealand’s favourite foods, popular across all ages and widely used in a variety of ways. Eggs are an ideal food for sportspeople, vegetarians, and people who care about their health.
An egg contains the highest quality food protein available. Because it is so near to perfect, egg protein is often the standard by which all other proteins are judged.
Based on the essential amino acids it provides, egg protein is second only to mother’s milk as the ideal for human nutrition.
