Ladies, have you ever considered freezing eggs to minimize waste? I recently came across this ingenious kitchen hack, and it has revolutionized the way I cook! The other day, I found myself with an excess of eggs after making a cake.

Instead of letting them spoil, I decided to experiment with freezing them. The results were astonishing!

Nutritional Analysis of Eggs

Whole Eggs: Each egg contains about 70 calories, 6g of protein, 5g of fat (including 1.6g of saturated fat), and 186mg of cholesterol. They are rich in vitamins D, B12, and A, as well as iron and zinc. Egg Whites: Known for their high riboflavin and selenium content, egg whites contain no cholesterol or fat and about 4g of protein, or about 17 calories per egg white. Egg Yolks: Each yolk provides about 55 calories, 2.7g of protein, 4.5g of fat (including 1.6g of saturated fat) and 186mg of cholesterol. They are a good source of vitamins A, D, E, B12, iron and choline.

Vitamins and Minerals in Eggs: Their Benefits and Risks
Vitamin D:

Essential for bone health and immune function, it also helps with calcium absorption and mood regulation. One medium egg provides about 10% of the recommended daily intake (RDI).

Vitamin B12:

Essential for DNA production and nervous system health, one egg provides about 9% of the RDI.

Vitamin A:

Important for vision and immune function, one egg contains about 5% of the RDI. Overconsumption can lead to toxicity.

Iron:

Vital for oxygen transport and red blood cell production, one egg provides about 6% of the RDI.

Zinc:

Key to immune function and DNA synthesis, one egg provides about 5% of the RDI.

Remember, while eggs are a valuable source of nutrients, they must be part of a balanced diet to avoid deficiency or excess. Effects vary based on individual health and diet.

Gently beat whole eggs. Avoid overdoing it so you don’t incorporate too much air, which can alter the texture after thawing.

Pour the beaten eggs into freezer-safe containers. For added convenience, use ice cube trays for individual servings. Once frozen, transfer the egg cubes to a resealable freezer bag for easy portioning later.

This freezing method is a fantastic way to preserve eggs and avoid waste. Plus, it’s incredibly handy for portion control in recipes. Give it a try and you’ll be amazed at what a game-changer this simple hack can be in your kitchen!
