2. Eggs

It would be super weird if you visited a country where eggs were nowhere to be found. Although the exact number of eggs that chickens lay every year can’t truly be known, it is believed that it is around one trillion per year!

Eggs are essential for almost all types of baking whether it is bread, cake, or pastries. Of course, eggs are also eaten throughout the day in various dishes or as a stand-alone item. They can be fried, boiled, scrambled, and steamed. Packed with protein and good fats, it’s not a surprise why they are so popular.

3. Chicken

Of all the meats in the world, chicken is by far the most consumed globally. First, unlike cows and pigs, chickens are significantly easier to raise and don’t require anywhere near the same amount of feed. Also, it is low in fat, high in protein, and far healthier than red meat. It is a key element of so many different dishes, including the mainstay when we all get sick: chicken soup!
