Scientists have found that egg powder has great potential to improve the nutrition of children in poor areas. Compared to a whole egg, egg powder contains less essential fatty acids, but a large amount of vitamins, essential amino acids and other important micronutrients. In addition, egg powder can be stored for a long time without preservatives. It’s also easy to transport over long distances, cook and add to other foods.
“Studies show that adding one egg per day to complementary foods can help reduce the incidence of underweight in older children by 74%, while also eliminating the so-called ‘growth stunting’ effect,” the scientists said.
