All known vitamins are found in eggs except...
Vitamin C.
An egg is really three separate foods, the whole egg, the white, and the yolk, each with its own distinct nutritional profile. A whole egg is a high-fat, high-cholesterol, high-quality protein food packaged in a high-calcium shell that can be grounded and added to any recipe. The proteins in eggs, with sufficient amounts of all the essential amino acids, are 99 percent digestible, the standard by which all other proteins are judged.

Kathleen Bishop, no it actually is a fat soluble vitamin . So is present in milk cheese fish eggs meat fish oil ( hence cod liver oil) It is a sunshine vitamin too. Which is why we northern hemisphere folk often need a boost.

I don't like eggs. I wish I did though since you can do so much with them. I do like quiche though

My chickens lay lots of eggs and they taste very good. I can't stand any store bought eggs; there is no comparison.

I thought Vitamin D only came from sunlight?
