My love letter to the greatest food Mother Nature has ever created
Joanna Blythman - Why eggs should be declared a ‘superfood'

Panic stations! I have run out of eggs, and that’s a situation I hate. Eggs are a core ingredient in my kitchen. There is no other ingredient quite like it for giving me a sense of security. As long as I have eggs to hand, I know I can make a fast, healthy meal.

My mother tells me that as a toddler, I ate ‘egg in a cup’ – boiled egg mashed up with butter – almost every night. To this day, I have an egg most days for breakfast. Then I reckon I get through another four or five in various dishes as the week goes on, so I probably consume at least a dozen eggs a week.

You’ll have gathered that I never paid one blind bit of attention to the various ordinances issued over the years telling us to restrict our consumption. Remember when public health advice was to eat no more than two eggs weekly? I always took the evolutionary view that Mother Nature is not a psychopath and so would never create a food that reduced the lifespan of the human race.
