Eating eggs is important and even doctors emphasise on its consumption, but it’s often seen as a challenge for those who don’t like eggs, are vegetarians or vegan, for that matter. The sheer nutritional value that one gets from them because of their protein contents is also what makes them so important in our daily diets. While vegetarians have their sources of protein, there are some who avoid eggs, and that may be a problem.

People around the world celebrate World Egg Day on October 13 to highlight its role in the daily diets due to its nutritional value and various other health benefits. In fact, city dieticians say it is not just a source of protein but one of the richest sources of proteins that help the body daily to not only repair muscles but also strengthen one’s immunity.
