Quail Eggs

Madam what do you have in the canteen? '' A colleague asked the catering woman... I listened in the background as he threw another question? '' Do you have Quail Eggs?'' I wondered within me what quail eggs were... ...

I had a taste of these eggs and they were nice but while I savored the taste, I pondered... '' Where have these eggs been ever since? '' ...
All I had ever known were the small, thick shelled eggs from the guinea fowl and that was asides the normal eggs...

Quail eggs are produced by quails and they are known for their many health benefits some of which I would love to share on the post..

Improved Vision is one of the many benefits of the quail eggs due to an increased amount of Vitamin A contained therein.
Prevention of Chronic Diseases through the presence of Anti-oxidants. As you all know we combat daily with free radicals which are the major causes of cancers and other chronic diseases.We live in a world heavily saturated with heavy metals and pollutants and as such the urgent need of a detoxifier can not be overemphasized. Adding quail eggs to your meals could help in cleansing your blood streams and eliminating these harmful radicals.
Growth Stimulation is another advantage of the quail eggs. just like other eggs, they are rich in protein which as you all know are required in our body for cell, tissue, muscles and bone formations and regeneration. Ideal for children as they need a lot of proteins for their development.
High HDL is another very important health benefit of the quail eggs. HDL are the good cholesterol as against the bad cholesterol LDL and they make up 60% of the fats in quail eggs making them a great choice of eggs although it's always advisable to take all foods in moderation.
 Potassium contained in quail eggs, responsible for their blood-pressure reducing capabilities are far more than those contained in normal eggs. Potassium is an essential mineral which acts as a vasodilator thus relieving stress and strains on the arteries and blood vessels. 

These benefits are simply Amazing! Little wonder the Lord fed the Israelite's with quails while they journeyed to the promise land!!! It was just enough to sustain them in good health for their journey... Gracious!

So when next you spot these eggs in the market, do not hesitate to get some for the family.. * winks*
