In my opinion, eggs are a perfect ingredient for the following reasons:
It is very simple for modern people to get eggs, which can be easily bought in almost all markets and supermarkets. Moreover, they have relatively mature production conditions and safe quarantine procedures, and can be eaten conveniently and safely.
The price of eggs is very cheap, at least compared with its delicious and nutritious, eggs are already very cheap ingredients.
There are many cooking methods, eating methods and uses of eggs. Eggs are very important and commonly used ingredients all over the world.
Eggs are nutritious and meet the needs of human beings. As long as it is eaten correctly, the absorption and utilization rate of egg nutrition by human body is very high.
I believe that some friends have seen the premise of "correct diet" in the above article, which is an important condition for obtaining the nutrition of eggs, but the way to eat boiled eggs is not particularly in line with this condition. We officially entered the front of this topic. Explain in detail.
Is the egg soup washed out directly with boiling water more nutritious? Is this the right way to eat?
The way to eat boiled eggs is also called "egg tea", and some places will add extra sesame oil or sugar, which is actually a simple breakfast in a hurry. However, many people are inevitably endowed with rich feelings because of the care of their elders when they are young, but the objective facts will not change because of people's subjective feelings.
So the answer to this question is simple. Eggs washed directly with boiling water will not be more nutritious. On the contrary, there will be two obvious shortcomings. Let's analyze them one by one.
One of the disadvantages: food hygiene hazards
In the past long years, people's life expectancy is generally not long. In primitive society, the average life expectancy of human beings was only ten years old. In ancient Rome, the average life expectancy of human beings was about 22 years old, but now our average life expectancy is between 70 and 80 years old. With the development of society, no matter how people complain about food safety, air quality, housing pressure, etc., it is an objective fact that human life expectancy and quality of life are constantly improving with the progress of science and technology, medical technology and health concept.
The correct concept of food hygiene has given us more health protection. In all fairness, "eating unclean and getting sick" is just a kind of helplessness restricted by conditions, not a folk truth.
Eggs are of course suitable for being cooked before eating. Salmonella is often the first cause of bacterial food poisoning in the world, and so is the inland area of China. Eggs are easily contaminated by chicken manure, so the probability of salmonella on eggs is much higher than that of other ingredients. If it is not fully heated and cooked, there will naturally be food hygiene hazards.
The second disadvantage: low nutrient absorption and utilization rate.
Nowadays, people have a little knowledge of food nutrition, but some friends still stay at the level of "high-temperature cooking destroys nutrition and eats the original flavor directly", so they will wonder whether boiling water can retain more nutrition. In fact, boiled eggs may indeed retain a little more nutrients, but in general, the nutrients of eggs will become more difficult to be absorbed by the human body. To put it bluntly, it is not worth the loss.
Different ways of eating eggs will directly affect people's absorption and utilization of egg nutrition. With boiled eggs, the absorption and utilization rate of egg nutrition will be above 98%, while raw egg liquid can only absorb 30% to 50%. This is mainly because undercooked eggs will leave antitrypsin, which will hinder the digestion and absorption of egg nutrition. Therefore, how much nutrition you can get from eating boiled eggs mainly depends on the water temperature and the heat preservation time, which is estimated to be around 70% to 90%. It can be seen that even if the risk of food hygiene hidden danger mentioned above is ruled out, this way of eating boiled eggs is definitely not "more nutritious". After all, some nutrients are wasted.
Therefore, to sum up the above two points, it is not recommended to wash eggs directly with boiling water. Although it is better than raw eggs, it is far from cooked eggs in terms of nutritional intake. In Japanese cuisine, raw eggs are dipped in beef and eaten in a birthday pot, but that's just for the sake of taste and has nothing to do with nutritional intake. Generally, raw eggs with strict "taste appreciation period" are also used, but it still cannot change the objective fact of nutrient waste.
In many articles about "the benefits of eating boiled eggs", such as improving eyesight, protecting liver and promoting brain development. Let's not say whether it is true or not. These so-called "benefits" come from the inherent nutrients of eggs, and have nothing to do with eating boiled water.
Moreover, the practice of boiling water to wash eggs will also make people fall into an embarrassing situation: if the water temperature is not high enough, then sterilization will definitely not be complete and more nutrition will be wasted; But if the water temperature is too high, it will take a long time to drink, otherwise eating too hot food often will cause chronic damage to the esophagus; Under the premise that the water temperature is boiling enough and the time for boiling eggs is long enough, it will become a bowl of egg drop soup in the true sense, and the so-called "nutrition retention" that is highly respected will no longer exist, so "boiling water is more nutritious" itself is a false proposition full of contradictions.
For swollen boiled eggs
"Boiled eggs are hidden dangers? Then why do some people have no adverse reactions after eating boiled eggs? "
First of all, this involves a question of "probability". The reason why boiled eggs are eaten with boiling water is "hidden danger", which means that if they are not eaten at 100%, there will be adverse reactions. The meaning of the words "risk" and "hidden danger" itself answers this question. If it is really eaten immediately, then this problem does not exist.
Secondly, the statement that "everyone is used to eating, and I haven't heard of anyone getting sick because of it" is actually not very convincing, because the news is blocked and knowledge is lacking. Even if someone occasionally eats a bad stomach because of egg tea, it will not be posted on the royal list, and even people with diarrhea may not necessarily think that it is caused by incomplete heating of egg tea. So "I haven't heard of it" doesn't mean "it hasn't happened", which is why the sentence "Ancient people eat like this, but modern people can't eat like this" doesn't hold water, because the environment is completely different, there is no comparability and there is not much reference value.
If you really miss and like boiled eggs, what can you do to be safer and less wasteful of nutrition?
You can prepare a small bowl and a basin, stir the egg liquid in the small bowl thoroughly, and then put the egg liquid in the whole small bowl into the basin.
Boil a pot of boiling water, pour a proper amount of boiling water into a small bowl of egg liquid, add sugar or sesame oil at will, and then cover the plate to help keep warm.
After about 5 minutes, boil the water in the kettle again. This time, pour boiling water into the basin and scald the small bowl, so that the egg liquid in the small bowl can maintain a high temperature of more than 70 degrees for about 10 minute, thus killing salmonella that may exist in the egg liquid.
