Eggs are high in protein and contain all the essential amino acids needed for growth and repair. In addition, they contain vitamin A, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E. However, not all eggs are created equal: tests have confirmed that free range eggs (from hens that were allowed to roam free and were not kept in cages) are nutritionally superior and much less likely to be contaminated with disease-causing bacteria such as salmonella. They also taste better, so whenever possible always choose free range eggs.

It also contains potassium, important for bone health, and vitamin B6, essential for the proper functioning of both the nervous and immune systems. Importantly, the squash is very rich in beta-carotene (which your body automatically converts to vitamin A), which has been shown to protect against breast cancer and age-related macular degeneration, among other health benefits. If that was not enough, a single cup serving provides nearly 50% of the daily recommended dose of vitamin C.
