Can I eat overnight eggs?

Northerners: Yes, have you ever seen tea eggs sold on the street!

Southerners: No, especially men, because they can cause intestinal gas/scrotal enlargement

Scientist: Not necessarily! Because if the eggs are not fully cooked and the uncooked yolks are eaten overnight, if the eggs are not stored properly, the nutritious food will easily breed bacteria, which will be harmful to health, such as causing gastrointestinal discomfort, flatulence, etc. However, if the food (eggs) is fully cooked and properly sealed and stored at a low temperature (generally refrigerated temperature), it can generally be stored for 48 hours without any problem.

From the tips of scientists, we can know: Whether eggs can be eaten overnight depends not only on whether they have been heated, but also on whether the eggs have been cooked for the first time. After the eggs are cooked for the first time, it is okay to cook them again overnight.

This is the same principle for tea eggs. You may not know that tea eggs are boiled twice, and the first time is boiled. Once cooked, crack the egg skin a second time, add tea leaves and other accessories, and cook again, so the tea eggs must be cooked.

Nowadays, some people like to eat half-cooked and half-boiled eggs (the yolk is semi-liquid) ) That kind of eggs cannot be eaten overnight, even if they are cooked the second time, do not eat them
