Eating only whites or buying Eggbeaters? Read more on the nutrients and benefits of whole eggs. (Above is Green Prophet’s editor Karin Kloosterman a few years back in her family’s chicken coop.)
Eggs have been slandered, persecuted, and vilified for the last 50 years. However, in spite of their bad rap, eggs are a highly nourishing, inexpensive, and easily digested food with dozens of uses in the kitchen. Additionally, they’re an important source of protein for vegetarians. Since most of the nutrients (and flavor) is found in the yolk, the idea of an egg-white omelette has always struck us as absurd. The idea seems even more misguided when you compare the vitamin content of a raw egg white to a raw egg yolk to 100 gm. of egg substitute (100 gm. is more than one serving).
By choosing more quake-proof, sustainable, and cost-effective materials, developers could avoid future scenes like this one in Van, Turkey.
