I remember when I was a child, the variety of ingredients was not as rich and diverse as it is now, plus my parents were usually very busy and did not have much energy in eating, so I remember that as a child I was limited to the problem of food. The only thing I remember is that eggs were a nutritional supplement, and every family had a yard and raised a few chickens every year, so eating eggs was not a worry, and eggs were considered the most eaten "meat" dish as a child.

Now that life is better, people are more and more careful about eating, not only eating three meals a day but also pursuing a balanced mix of nutrition. Often eaten in the day-to-day ingredients are increasingly diverse, but eggs are still the most frequent food on the table because compared with other meat, eggs are the most cost-effective "meat", and the nutritional value of eggs is increasingly recognized as "the most ideal nutrition library The nutritional value of eggs is becoming more and more widely recognized, making them the "ideal nutrient bank".

Eggs are rich in protein, lecithin, vitamins, and trace elements such as calcium, iron, and potassium, which can help to strengthen the immune system, and are also useful for brain development and liver protection. Eggs are a good source of nutrition for the elderly, children, and adults alike.

Eggs are inexpensive and many people love them, but many people don't know how to eat them. Eating the right ones can help nourish the body while eating the wrong ones will not only have poor nutrient absorption efficiency but will inevitably be bad for your health. So today to share with you some small knowledge about eating eggs, people who love to eat eggs to understand, and keep in mind that "1 golden time, 5 do not eat", the nutritional value of a small egg gives full play to it, let's take a look ~

1 golden time

I love to eat eggs, sometimes hungry at night will also boil an egg to eat, but two days ago and my nutritionist friend chatted, she heard me say that I ate eggs at night, said very wasteful. She told me that the best time to eat eggs is in the morning because the morning is the most efficient time to absorb nutrients, eat an egg at breakfast so that the protein and mineral content of the egg can be fully absorbed and used.

So the morning is the "golden hour" we eat eggs, in addition to eating eggs at the same time with milk, cereals, fruits, vegetables, and other foods together, can make nutrition more balanced, breakfast was eaten, the whole day is full of spirit, whether it is work or study, efficiency will be very high.

5 do not eat

1, there are cracks in the eggs do not eat

When we buy eggs, we often encounter supermarkets discount promotion eggs, most of these eggs are knocked with cracks. Cracked eggs are easy to breed bacteria, and inevitably will cause contamination of the internal egg fluid, which is harmful to our health after consumption, so do not eat such eggs even if they are free.

2, fried eggs eat less or not

In daily life, there are many ways to eat eggs, the most common is directly cooked, of course, and can also be steamed into egg custard, eggs into the dish to do filling is also very common, in addition to many people are very fond of a way to eat in the morning, that is, fried eggs. The way eggs are cooked has a significant impact on their nutrient absorption, and generally boiled or steamed is the best way to absorb nutrients and are healthier. Fried eggs, internal nutrition is not easy to release, and fried eggs often add a lot of oil, it is not easy to digest, and is too greasy for health benefits. So fried eggs as little as possible or do not eat them.

3, uncooked eggs do not eat

Some people think that raw eggs are very nutritious, and will eat eggs raw, which is not correct. Raw eggs or eggs that are not thoroughly cooked are best not to eat, eggs contain bacteria, and need to be cooked at high temperatures, the bacteria will be fully killed later, to eat with confidence. Otherwise, they may cause abdominal pain and diarrhea, and may also affect the absorption of nutrients.

In addition, not thoroughly cooked eggs, in the process of preservation also easy to breed bacteria, after eating will inevitably affect health, so do not eat overnight eggs that are not thoroughly cooked.

4、Eating eggs every day can not be too much

All food is the same, and can not be consumed in excess, eggs are even more so, excessive consumption will not only increase the gastrointestinal burden, and the nutrition in eggs can not be fully absorbed, resulting in waste, too much consumption will also cause obesity and other adverse phenomena. Generally speaking, adults should not exceed 2 eggs per day, and high cholesterol patients should pay attention to eating less or no eggs.

5, do not eat with tea

China has a long history of tea culture, many people have the habit of drinking tea in the morning, especially now that the weather is hot, and more like drinking a cup of green tea. It should be noted that eggs are high-protein food, and tea contains more tannin acid, tannin acid will react with protein, and the formation of astringent tannin protein is not conducive to gastrointestinal digestion but also affects the absorption of nutrients. Therefore, it is best not to drink tea when we eat eggs, whether it is green tea, black tea, or flower tea, it is best to drink after 2 hours.

Tips for boiling eggs

Many people have difficulty peeling eggs after boiling, always with the egg white, so the following share with you in detail the method of boiling eggs.

Eggs

Ingredients preparation: eggs, salt, white vinegar, water

1、Rinse the eggs under running water, then soak them in water for about 10 minutes to drink up the water.

2、Put the eggs into a pot, add the right amount of cold water, and add 1 tsp of table salt and 1 tsp of white vinegar. The white vinegar can soften the egg shells and make the boiled eggs easier to peel, and the table salt can enter the bottom taste in advance, so the boiled eggs will taste better.

3, first boil the water in the pot until boiling, then turn to medium heat and continue to cook for 5 minutes, at which time the eggs are cooked. Turn off the heat at this time and let the eggs continue to simmer in the pot for 5 minutes.

4: Prepare a bowl of cool water, fish out the eggs, and soak them in the cool water for 2-3 minutes so that the eggs cool down quickly, using the principle of thermal expansion and contraction to automatically separate the egg white from the egg shell.

5、Knock the egg on the table to make a crack, then tear off a piece of the shell, the rest of the shell will also come off together with the film wrapped around the egg white, a complete and smooth egg in less than 5 seconds.
