Why it is ours

Eggs over grits is a foundational Black American breakfast. Deviled eggs are a cookout non-negotiable. Egg salad shows up at church dinners.

What it does

Choline supports brain health and liver function. Lutein and zeaxanthin protect against macular degeneration — relevant for a community with higher rates of diabetic eye disease.

How it is cooked

Fried in a small amount of butter or avocado oil in a well-seasoned cast iron is fine. Avoid pairing every egg with high-sodium sausage and processed meat.
