      Eat scientifically egg

      The most nutritious cooking method: There are many ways to eat eggs. In terms of nutrient absorption and digestibility, boiled eggs are 100%, scrambled eggs are 97%, tender fried eggs are 98%, deep fried eggs are 81.1%, boiled eggs with boiling water and milk are 92.5%, and eaten raw are 30% to 50%. From this point of view, boiled eggs are the best way to eat, but be careful to chew them slowly, otherwise it will affect absorption and digestion. However, for children, steamed egg custard and egg drop soup are the most suitable, because these two methods can loosen the protein and be easily digested and absorbed by children.

      Note: You should eat less tea eggs, because tea contains acidifying substances that, combined with the iron in eggs, will irritate the stomach and affect the digestive function of the gastrointestinal tract.

      How many eggs should you eat in a day: Eggs are a high-protein food. If eaten too much, it can lead to an increase in metabolites and increase the burden on the kidneys. Generally speaking, one egg per day is suitable for children and the elderly, and two per day for teenagers and adults.

      Which is better, egg white or yolk: The correct way to eat is to eat the whole egg. The egg white contains more protein, while the yolk contains more other nutrients.

      How to eat eggs

      There are many ways to eat eggs. Different ways of eating eggs can be chosen according to different ages and physical conditions.

      baby Commonly used is to eat the yolks of boiled eggs, grind them into powder, and add water or milk to eat.

      For young children, you can start with steamed egg custard, then go to egg drop soup, poached eggs and fried poached eggs. When you need to eat a liquid diet, you can use milk or soy milk to make egg drop. Children can eat scrambled eggs, egg dumplings, golden rolls, crab meat eggs, etc.

      Boiled eggs are one of the commonly used ways to eat them, but if they are not cooked properly, the egg whites will be cooked but the yolks will be uncooked; or if they are overcooked, the eggs will be overcooked and the whites and yolks will be hard, which is not conducive to digestion and absorption.

      The correct way to cook eggs

      Put the eggs in a pot of cold water, raise the temperature over low heat, bring to a boil and cook over low heat for 2 minutes. After stopping the fire, soak for another 5 minutes, so that the egg whites will be tender and the yolks will be solid but not old.

      According to nutritionists, eggs with different boiling times have different digestion times in the human body. “"3-minute eggs" are lightly cooked eggs, which are easiest to digest and take about 1 hour and 30 minutes; "5-minute eggs" are half-boiled eggs, which take about 2 hours to digest in the human body; eggs that have been boiled for too long take 3 hours and 15 minutes to be digested in the human body.

      “"5-minute eggs" are not only soft and tender, with strong egg flavor, but also beneficial to human nutrition. The American medical community has published a research report that found that 24 adults ate two soft-boiled eggs every day. After 6 weeks, their blood lipids did not increase, but the good cholesterol (HDL) that is beneficial to the human body increased by 10%.
