Easter is over, but that doesn’t mean we have to stop with the eggs! Well, maybe cutting back on eating so many chocolate ones is a good idea, and it might be a bit strange if you continue to hide them in your front yard or decorate them with colorful paint… Instead, turn your focus over to the nutrient-dense ones sitting on the shelf of your refrigerator!

The misunderstood “incredible, edible egg” over the years has acquired a bruised reputation from reports that they contribute to raised cholesterol.
