National Egg Day in India is observed on June 3rd every year to recognise the immense nutritional value of eggs and raise awareness about their role in combating malnutrition and protein deficiency. Rich in high-quality protein, essential amino acids, vitamins A, D, E, B12, iron, and healthy fats, eggs play a significant role in the growth and development of children, immunity, and overall health. National Egg Day also serves as a reminder to include eggs in daily diets, support local poultry farmers, and break myths surrounding egg consumption. Instead of deep-frying or heavily buttering, eggs can be poached, boiled, scrambled with veggies, or baked with wholesome ingredients. Keep reading as we discuss some easy and healthy egg recipes.
