“This is the hard outer shell of the egg. It’s made of calcium carbonate, which is similar to the chalk your teacher uses at school."
“This is the yolk, which is held in the center by these twisted strings called chalazae.”
“A little more than half of the egg is the albumen, or what we call the egg white. A really fresh egg has a yolk that sits high in the center of very thick albumen, with a thin little puddle around the edges,” said Aunt Lou.
“Eggs are really good for you, Sebastian. They are considered the perfect protein, which we need to help us grow and keep our muscles strong. They have vitamins A, D, E and B12, and calcium, which is good for our bones, and potassium that keeps our hearts beating strong,” said Aunt Lou.
