Did you know that an ostrich egg can weigh up to three pounds? And still contains zero starch. Also, the color of the yolk—pale yellow or deep orange—depends on the hen’s diet, not on any starch content. Carotenoids from plants give yolks that sunset hue.
Here’s a quirky trivia: In ancient Rome, eggs were often served as the first course, paired with honey or wine. They were considered a pure food—and modern science agrees.
Lastly, the phrase “egg on your face” has nothing to do with starch. It’s about embarrassment, not breakfast.
