Eggs and cholesterol: The American Heart Association's new guidelines now permit an egg a day, rather than only three a week.  Eggs can be an important part of an active person's diet. They are a good source of high quality protein and contain 13 vitamins and minerals.

You may, though, be able to tell how old your eggs are by checking a three-number code on the small side of the carton. It's a Julian date, with 001 representingJanuary 1 and 365 standing for December 31. This is the day the eggs were packed. They'll keep in your refrigerator at least 4 to 5 weeks after this date

Meringue- an item of sweet food made from a mixture of well-beaten egg whites and sugar, baked until crisp and typically used as a topping for desserts, especially pies.

Food uses: Arguably the most famous use for cream of tartar is to stabilize egg whites when making meringues or meringue toppings. -stabilizes the egg whites and allows them to maintain their texture when whipped into stiff peaks, but it also increases their tolerance to heat, which is very helpful, say, when you put a meringue topped pie or a baked alaska into a hot oven. -This allows them to brown nicely, hold their shape, and to not melt away and expose the delicious interior of these desserts!

Lets look at an egg and identify the parts!

Eggs: Binder Function # 1 Eggs bind ingredients and hold them together. Examples: meatloaf and meatballs

Eggs: Leavening Agent Function #2 Eggs give height or volume to many products by being whipped between two and one-half and four times their normal volume. Examples: used in cakes, meringues and soufflés

Eggs: Thickening Agent Function #3 The protein of the egg white and yolk coagulates when heated, to thicken food mixtures. Examples: pie fillings, custards, pudding, egg sauces.

Eggs: Emulsifying agent Function #4 An emulsion is a mixture of oil and another liquid, beaten together so that the oil is spread evenly throughout the mixture and it will not separate. The proteins in the egg yolk surround the oil particles and keep it from separating. Examples: salad dressing or mayonnaise

Eggs: Coating or Glue Function # 5 Eggs “glue” one food to another by being dipped into beaten egg and then rolled in crumbs or flour creating a coating Examples: fried chicken, baked fish

Eggs: Flavor, Fat, & Color Function #6 Eggs add flavor, fat and color Examples: baked goods such as muffins, cookies, cakes
