Easter time means time for eggs. We see them everywhere this time of the year. Chocolat eggs and beautiful decorated eggs. But what have eggs to do with easter?
Eggs are symbol for eternity, of resurrection and fertility. It goes back into the christian tradition. The custom of giving eggs at Easter celebrates new life.
Did you know that eggs are a great source of protein? They also contain important minerals as iron, choline, folic acid and the vitamins B2, B12, E and D. Eggs fit perfectly in a healthy diet, and yes as you understand we are not talking about chocolate eggs 😉
