Hey girls, have you ever thought about freezing eggs to avoid waste? I discovered this tip recently and it's changed my cooking! The other day, while making a cake, I ended up with too many eggs.
Rather than letting them go to waste, I tried freezing them. And what a surprise!

Vitamin D
Benefits: Vitamin D is crucial for bone health and the immune system.
It helps the body absorb calcium and plays a role in mood regulation.
Amounts in an egg: One medium egg provides approximately 10% of the RDA for vitamin D.
Overconsumption: Excess vitamin D can lead to hypercalcemia, causing health problems such as fatigue, bone pain, and kidney problems.
Vitamin B12
Benefits: Essential for the production of DNA and red blood cells, B12 also plays a role in the functioning of the nervous system.
Amount in an egg: One egg provides about 9% of the RDA for vitamin B12.
Overconsumption: It is rare to have an excess of vitamin B12 because the body excretes
the excess, but it can sometimes lead to allergic reactions or complications in people with certain medical conditions.
Vitamin A
Benefits: Important for vision, the immune system, and reproduction. It
also helps the heart, lungs, kidneys, and other organs function
properly.
