Egg
Eggs are a common food ingredient that comes from hens. They are not a plant or grain but are considered a dairy product. Eggs are versatile and used in many recipes due to their unique properties.
To produce eggs, hens lay them after a mating process with a rooster. The eggs are collected from the hens' nests on farms and then cleaned and sorted before they are sold in stores. The most common type of egg used in cooking is the hen's egg, but there are also duck, quail, and other types of eggs used in various cuisines.
Eggs are often listed on food labels for their various culinary functions. They can act as binders in dishes like cakes, provide moisture in baked goods, add richness to sauces, and even serve as coatings for fried foods like chicken nuggets. Eggs are a fundamental ingredient in many recipes, from omelettes and pancakes to quiches and custards.
