Description
Eggs for baking are a basic and essential ingredient in pastry and cooking, known for their ability to bind ingredients, add moisture, structure, and help preparations achieve a light and airy texture. They are used in a wide variety of recipes such as cakes, sponges, breads, cookies, and more.
Eggs primarily come from chickens, and their use in cooking has ancient roots, making them one of the most versatile and nutritious ingredients around the world.
Properties: Eggs are a rich source of high-quality protein, contain healthy fats, vitamins A, D, E, and B complex, as well as minerals like iron and zinc. In cooking, their emulsifying and coagulation capacity is key to creating homogeneous mixtures and giving consistency to doughs.
