EGGS ARE THE PERFECT MEDITERRANEAN DIET FOOD: Eggs are one of the few foods that could be classified as superfoods. They’re very nutritious, easy to prepare, cheap and go with almost every food. They are nutritionally rich, may support heart health, are a great source of choline, a nutrient is needed for the formation of cell membranes and for brain function, including memory. In addition, they may support eye health and weight management. In the Mediterranean they’re cooked in many different ways. Eggs are enjoyed throughout the day with seasonal vegetables, local cheeses and always cooked and drizzled with a lot of extra virgin olive oil.
