The most nutritious cooking methods:
Eggs can be prepared in many ways. In terms of nutrient absorption and digestibility, boiled eggs are 100%, scrambled eggs are 97%, soft-fried eggs are 98%, hard-fried eggs are 81.1%, eggs poached in water or milk are 92.5%, and raw eggs are 30%-50%. Therefore, boiling is the best way to eat eggs, but be sure to chew slowly, otherwise it will affect absorption and digestion. However, for children, steamed egg custard and egg drop soup are the most suitable, as these two methods break down the protein, making it very easy for children to digest and absorb.
Note:
Tea eggs should be eaten in moderation because tea contains acidic substances that combine with the iron in eggs, which can irritate the stomach and affect gastrointestinal digestion. [China Cuisine]
How many eggs to eat per day: Eggs are a high-protein food. Eating too many can increase metabolic waste and also place a burden on the kidneys. Generally, it is appropriate for children and the elderly to eat one egg per day, and for adolescents and adults to eat two eggs per day.
Is the white or the yolk better? The correct way to eat is to eat the whole egg. The egg white contains more protein, while the yolk contains more of the other nutrients.
