can we eat unfertilized eggs ?
No. In Jainism, eggs are not considered permissible, whether fertilized or unfertilized.
Reason:
- They come from an animal source.
- Jain ahimsa avoids foods connected with violence or harm to living beings.
- So eggs are generally counted with non-vegetarian food in Jain dietary discipline.
So, according to Jain principles, eggs should not be eaten.
