Origin
Chicken eggs are the global default; duck and quail appear in specialty cooking.
Herbal & culinary notes
Complete protein, choline, and lutein in the yolk. Most healthy people can include whole eggs regularly.
How to store
Refrigerate in the original carton on a shelf (not the door). Use by the pack date; hard-cooked eggs keep about 1 week.
Food safety
Cook until yolks/whites are firm for high-risk diners. Dishes with eggs should reach 160°F (71°C).
Food hazards
Salmonella can be inside intact shells. Don't eat raw cookie dough with untreated eggs; wash hands after cracking.
