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.
such as headaches, nausea, dizziness, and in extreme cases, can cause liver damage.
Iron Benefits: Iron is essential for transporting oxygen in the blood and for the production of red blood cells.
Amount in an egg: One egg provides about 6% of the RDA for iron.
Overconsumption: Too much iron can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, fatigue, and in severe cases, can damage vital organs. Zinc
Benefits: Zinc is crucial for the immune system, wound healing, and
DNA synthesis.
Amount in an egg: One egg provides approximately 5% of the RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) of zinc.
Overconsumption: Too much zinc can lead to adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, headaches, and altered taste. It is important to note that, while eggs are an important source of these nutrients, they should be consumed as part of a balanced diet to avoid deficiencies or excesses. Furthermore, the effects of excessive egg or vitamin consumption vary from person to person depending on their overall health and diet. Step 1: Preparing Whole Eggs
Action: Lightly whisk the whole eggs.
Tip: Avoid whisking too vigorously to prevent incorporating too much air.
This can affect the texture after thawing.
Transferring to containers: Pour the mixture into freezer-safe containers.
Tip: Use ice cube trays for individual portions. Once
frozen, transfer the egg cubes to a resealable freezer bag.
This makes them easy to use in individual portions later.
Conservation
Storage: Eggs prepared this way can be kept in the
freezer for up to one year.
Labeling: Remember to label the container with the freezing date.
