The star of the meal: the egg
Eggs are a significant source of nutrients for people of all ages, as, in addition to proteins, they contain vitamins and minerals.You should know that egg protein is the most complete, and for this reason it is taken as the protein of reference. Egg whites have a remarkable amount of proteins and practically no fat. Egg yolks, in addition to being rich in fat, have a significant vitamin content, particularly vitamin A (which plays a crucial role in sight) and B12 (necessary for the nervous system to work properly).They are also very rich in iron. For all these reasons, eggs can be part of a balanced, varied diet. It is recommended to eat 3 or 4 eggs a week.
Undeserved disrepute
There is evidence that eating eggs in moderation does not increase the risk of having a heart disease. For this reason, the main scientific societies, such as the American Heart Association, do not recommend restricting it in cholesterol disorders.
Healthy, tasty ideas with Lékué
There are many ways to enjoy this wonderful ingredient, but whether its caloric content increases or remains stable depends on how it is cooked. Remember that the best way of eating eggs is having boiled eggs or eggs in another form which requires no frying or fats, so as not to increase their caloric content and preserve their nutritional properties. For this reason, Lékué suggests the OVO mould, which enables you to cook eggs in a healthy way, with no unnecessary oil, preserving their natural taste and beneficial properties.
Would you like it for breakfast? Try having poached eggs on toast with natural orange juice, for example. They will give you all the energy you need to face the day! You can later have a mid-morning snack of a yogurt or a coffee.
In meals, eggs are also a perfect ingredient. With the OVO mould you will be able to cook boiled eggs, which are delicious in salads. Boiled eggs are also ideal for pasta. Finger-licking good! Place some broccoli and smoked salmon cubes with the egg in the Ovo for an original and tasty main course. Serve with a large pasta salad as a starter, and you will have the perfect menu.
For dinner, we suggest a courgette cream soup as a starter and a steamed Spanish omelette as a main course. But then you should just have a piece of fruit or yogurt for dessert!
