What is devilled egg
In the context of food, “Devilled” was a term used way back in early 18th century, to specify tasty or spicy. These eggs were topped with pepper and mustard that time and got the name in 1786 in the U.S. In other parts of U.S., the terms “stuffed eggs”, “salad eggs”, and “dressed eggs” are used instead. Filling with less fat and cholesterol, these are also referred as “angel eggs“.
Benefits of avocado
Avocado is extremely rich in Vitamin K (26% of daily value), Folate, Vitamin C, Potassium, Vit-B5, Vit-B6, Vit-E (Fact: Avocado contains more potassium than banana). These have high fibre content too.
Benefits of eggs
I do not need to emphasise how healthy eggs are! People say, an apple a day keeps doctor away, I say, an egg a day keeps doctor at bay.
Eggs are excellent source of quality protein. Egg whites constitute to more than half of the egg protein, which also includes vitamin B2 and lower amounts of fat than the yolk. Eggs are great source vitamin D, selenium, B6, B12 and numerous minerals including copper, iron and zinc.
