Explanation
An egg is a round or oval object produced by birds, especially chickens, and is commonly eaten as food. People boil, fry, scramble, or bake eggs in dishes. Eggs are also important in cooking because they help hold ingredients together. For example, eggs are used to make an omelet or to coat food before frying it. Eggs are very healthy because they are full of protein, vitamins, and minerals that give energy and help the body grow strong. They are also good for the brain and eyes. As a verb, “to egg” means to encourage someone to do something, often silly, risky, or playful. For example, they egged him on to tell a joke.
