HEN EGGS

 

Egg yolks are an important source of Choline, which is a key component of cell membranes, thus choline accounts for a high percentage of brain mass.

It also forms acetylcholine, which is a neurotransmitter that carries messages to and from nerves.

Therefore, choline is important for brain and memory function.

Choline is sensitive to water and may be destroyed by cooking and food processing. Although raw eggs will have higher choline content, young children are advised to consume fully cooked eggs to prevent the risk of food poisoning.
