Raw (in smoothies, etc.)
Retains all nutrients
Risk of
salmonella
— especially in unrefrigerated or cracked eggs
Safe raw option: Use pasteurized eggs — treated to kill bacteria without cooking.
Never give raw eggs to children, pregnant women, or immune-compromised individuals.
How to Eat Eggs the Healthiest Way
Pair with veggies
Add spinach, tomatoes, or peppers for fiber and antioxidants
Use healthy fats
Cook in olive oil or avocado oil — not butter or trans fats
Skip the bacon
Pair with avocado or whole grain toast instead
Choose pasture-raised or omega-3 eggs
Higher in nutrients and better for animal welfare
Don’t overcook
High heat can oxidize cholesterol — soft-boil or poach when possible
Best combo: Scrambled eggs + sautéed greens + whole grain toast = perfect breakfast.
Final Thoughts: Eggs Deserve Their Comeback
We spent years fearing eggs.
Avoiding yolks.
Choosing substitutes.
But the truth is:
The whole egg is the real superfood.
For most people, eating 1–2 eggs a day is not only safe — it’s one of the smartest things you can do for your health.
So whether you like them:
Soft-boiled
Over-easy
Scrambled with cheese
Or in a frittata with veggies
…enjoy
