Egg (food)

Eggs are oval-shaped things that come from chickens (or sometimes ducks or other animals). When people talk about eating eggs, they usually mean chicken eggs. These eggs have a hard shell on the outside to help protect the inside stuff. Inside the egg, there is a yolk and some stuff called egg white.

To cook an egg, you have to crack it open. This means breaking the shell so you can get at the yolk and egg white inside. Some people like to eat eggs raw, but most people cook them first. You can cook eggs in many different ways, like boiling, frying, or scrambling them.

When you eat eggs, they are a good source of protein which helps your body grow strong and healthy. People often eat eggs for breakfast, but they can be eaten at any time of the day. Some people like to eat egg sandwiches or put eggs in soups and other dishes. Eggs can be cooked in many different ways, so it's fun to experiment and try new recipes!
