Eggs cannot be boiled and eaten together with soy milk.
Eating eggs and soy milk for breakfast is not conducive to the body's absorption of protein.
Eating an egg when drinking soy milk in the morning, or boiling eggs in soy milk, is also a dietary habit of many people
. Soy milk has a sweet and mild taste, and contains many nutrients such as plant protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. Drinking it alone has a strong nourishing effect. However, there is a special substance called trypsin.
Combined with the egg pine protein in egg white, it will cause the loss of nutrients and reduce the nutritional value of both.
We all know that eggs cannot be eaten at the same time as soy milk. So, can soy products not be eaten with eggs? Can tofu be eaten with eggs?
In fact, "Eggs cannot be eaten with soy milk at the same time" is not accurate. Eggs cannot be eaten with raw soy milk. The antitrypsin contained in soybeans can inhibit the activity of human proteases and affect the digestion and absorption of protein in the human body. Soy milk also contains trypsin inhibitors, and the sticky protein contained in egg whites can combine with the trypsin in raw soy milk to hinder the decomposition of protein, thus reducing the body's absorption and utilization of protein. However, this enzyme is easily destroyed by heating, and the protein digestibility is greatly improved. The digestibility after making tofu is even higher, reaching 92% to 96%. Antitrypsin is not only found in soybeans, but also in other foods such as cotton seeds, peanuts, and rapeseed, and can be inactivated by heating.
Tofu is derived from soybeans (soybeans, black beans). Therefore, the protein digestibility of soybeans is not high, only 65%. However, after soybeans are soaked, ground and heated, the anti-trypsin compounds are destroyed. In fact, raw eggs also contain antibiotics and anti-trypsin compounds that affect protein digestion and absorption. After heating to a certain extent, these components Will be destroyed, making protein digestion, absorption and utilization more complete, so eggs should not be eaten raw.
Based on the above analysis and current nutritional information, soy products and eggs are not incompatible. Tofu and eggs, or soy milk and eggs, as long as they are both thoroughly heated, will destroy the antitrypsin. It will not affect the digestion and absorption of protein. Eating tofu and eggs together not only does not affect the nutritional value, but also has a healthier meaning.
First, it is helpful to improve the nutritional value of tofu.
Eggs contain protein, fat, vitellin, lecithin, vitamins, iron, calcium, potassium and other minerals needed by the human body. Soybeans contain protein and fat.
The amino acid composition of tofu protein is close to the needs of the human body and has high nutritional value. However, tofu protein contains less methionine, an essential amino acid for the human body, which is a major drawback of tofu protein. On the contrary, eggs contain more methionine. If tofu is eaten with eggs, during the absorption process, part of the methionine in the eggs is supplemented into the amino acid profile of tofu, making the amino acid ratio of tofu closer to the needs of the human body, thus effectively improving the protein bioavailability of tofu and making the tofu more nutritious. The nutritional value is improved.
Second, it helps balance cholesterol intake.
The protein in eggs contains various amino acids needed by the human body, and the amino acid composition pattern is similar to the pattern required to synthesize human tissue protein. It is easy to digest and absorb. Its biological value reaches 95 points, which is the best among other food proteins. It is about 1.4 times that of protein. It is the most ideal natural high-quality protein and a food with high nutritional value. Not only that, egg yolks are also rich in minerals, vitamins and lecithin.
Tofu and eggs can be used together to make many kinds of nutritious delicacies. Here are two recommended ones for you:
1. Braised tofu with eggs
Ingredients: 400g soft tofu (sliced), 75g lean meat (diced), 75g shrimp (shelled, deveined and drained) (diced), 2 large hard-boiled eggs, appropriate amount of green onions. Marinade: 2 tablespoons of premium oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, appropriate amount of pepper.
Method:
1. Steam soft tofu over medium heat for 10 minutes, drain and keep warm.
2. Cut the steamed eggs in half, take out the egg yolks and crush them and set aside. Cut the egg whites into cubes, add lean meat, shrimp and marinade and mix well.
3. Use 2 tablespoons of oil to stir-fry egg whites, lean meat and shrimp until cooked through, add gravy, cook until heated through, top with tofu noodles, sprinkle with crushed egg yolk and green onions and serve. .
2. Steamed Tofu with Eggs
Steamed Tofu with Eggs - Steamed Tofu with Eggs is one of the common nutrition recipes for children. So how to make steamed tofu with eggs? There are many ways to make steamed tofu with eggs. Here we introduce the most commonly used method of steaming tofu with eggs. The detailed method is as follows:
Ingredients: 5 grams of tofu, 1 egg, 10 grams of carrots, 20 grams of starch, 50 ml of bone broth, fine salt Appropriate amount
Method: Beat the eggs well, add appropriate amount of bone broth and fine salt, cut the tofu into small pieces, cut the carrots into fine pieces, mix the three, and steam for 10 minutes. In addition, add a little bone soup, starch and a little salt, cook it into a marinade and pour it on the eggs and tofu.
Comments: Tofu and bone soup are rich in calcium, and the calcium in eggs is easy to absorb. Carrots are fat-soluble vitamins, and when paired with bone broth, they are beneficial to the absorption and utilization of carrots.
Although there is no problem in eating tofu and eggs together, tofu cannot be eaten with spinach, chives, honey, wild rice, bamboo shoots, and pork liver; eggs should not be eaten with sugar (saccharin, brown sugar, white sugar), Eat soft-shell turtle, carp, raw soy milk, tea, rabbit meat, goose meat and persimmon together.
