Introduction:
In the Food Guide Pyramid, eggs are part of the group of protein rich. One large egg provides about six grams of protein; about half of this protein is in the egg white. Egg white is considered as an ideal protein because it contains all the essential amino acids in proper proportion for human nutrition. Of the total fat in eggs, more than half is the unsaturated variety. Eggs are a significant source of iron, riboflavin, folate and vitamins B12, D, and E.

Imitation eggs often made from unsafe materials, and can pose serious health risks, when consumed.

Soon it will look slightly white and transparent and should have the same viscosity as the real egg white. This is the main part of the “egg”. Separate part of this liquid and then added a small amount of lemon-yellow food coloring, by adjusting the color depth to look like the color of egg yolk. Finally, the “egg yolk” and “egg white” are put into “eggshell” made of calcium carbonate.
