Are Eggs a Vegetarian Product?

It has been an age-old debate whether eggs are vegetarian or not. While some people believe that eggs are a part of vegetarianism, others assert that eggs are non-vegetarian. People who believe that eggs are non-vegetarian support their argument by stating that eggs are made out of animal matter.

The people who consider egg as a vegetarian food, on the other hand, purport that a vegetarian diet only includes an exclusion of animal flesh from your diet. Find out below if egg falls into the category of vegetarian food or non-vegetarian food:-

Well, it turns out that eggs can be both vegetarian and non-vegetarian. It is important to note that there are two types of eggs. While one is fertilized, other is non-fertilized. The fertilized egg contains zygote and has life, which means that it falls into the category of non-vegetarian food. The non-fertilized egg, on the other hand, comes without any living cell. Ergo, a non-fertilized egg is certainly appropriate for vegetarians.
