Egg is a round or oval body laid by the female of any number of different species, consisting of an ovum surrounded by layers of membranes and an outer casing, which acts to nourish and protect a developing embryo and its nutrient reserves.
Most edible eggs, including bird eggs and turtle eggs, consist of a protective, oval eggshell, the albumen (egg white), the vitellus (egg yolk), and various thin membranes. Every part is edible, although the eggshell is generally discarded. Roe and caviar are edible eggs produced by fish.
Eggs can be fried, boiled, poached or even roasted in fire, like in camping survival. Whether eaten by themselves or used as an ingredient, they are an excellent source of high-quality protein and choline. No wonder they dubbed an almost perfect food!
