Can I still eat an egg that has been boiled for over an hour?

You can eat them.

Eggs boiled for a long time, methionine will release sulfide, and the iron in the egg to react, the formation of dark-colored ferrous sulfide, resulting in the surface of the yolk green, but consumption will not cause cancer.

1, the egg yolk on the point of sulfide is very little, in the role of gastric acid may change into hydrogen sulfide and ferrous chloride, if not with the reaction of gastric acid, it is also insoluble compounds, and will not participate in the metabolic process.

2, the sulfide on the egg yolk does not affect protein digestion. Methionine is not only found in eggs, it is another name for methionine, a common amino acid found in food and is harmless to the human body.

3. The human intestinal digestive process is microbial fermentation, which produces metabolic wastes such as hydrogen sulfide and biogenic amines is also very normal. The amount of hydrogen sulfide in the intestines far exceeds that of water-insoluble ferrous sulfide on egg yolks.
