Eggs have been a valuable food since the earliest of times. Although their nutritional value is often disputed, eggs are widely used in many types of dishes, both sweet and savory, whether prepared alone or mixed with other ingredients. The egg symbol is also related to the spring season which includes the holidays of Easter and Passover. Decorate with eggs. Wear eggs. Hang eggs on the wall. The sky’s the limit and Zibbet celebrates the season and the food with over 600 egg related ideas. Eggs-trordinary! After reading about today’s Fantastic Five be sure to check out Zibbet’s Easter Guide. More Fantastic Fives can be found here.
