Martinez FNRI-DOST S & T Media Service Did you know that egg is the most commonly consumed protein source among Filipino children from ages six months to five years? This was disclosed by the recent survey conducted by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute of the Department of Science and Technology (FNRI-DOST). Egg is an excellent complementary protein-rich food for babies after six months of age because budget-wise, it is very cheap and easy to prepare. Fresh egg is an important source of high quality protein since it contains practically all vitamins, except ascorbic acid. Egg yolk in particular, is an excellent source of vitamin A, phosphorous, calcium, iron, retinol, and fat. theilocostimes.blogspot/2013/09/egg-is-good-growing-up-food.html
