Eggs are one of the oldest food products that people have eaten and used to prepare other dishes for more than one millennium. They are also in high demand today as they contain a variety of nutrients. However, not all bird species' eggs are well absorbed by the body. In addition, their misuse is fraught with dangerous disease.
Instructions
Step 1
Quail eggs are considered the most useful. Compared to any others, they contain several times more potassium, iron, B vitamins and vitamin A. In addition, they are rich in zinc, selenium, sulfur, calcium, vitamins E and D. The yolk of such an egg is enriched with healthy fat, so it very nutritious. In addition, according to experts, quail eggs can be safely consumed raw without fear of contracting salmonellosis. The thing is that the body temperature of quails is a couple of degrees higher than that of other birds, so the causative agents of this disease in their eggs simply do not survive. That is why such a product can be given raw, even to children.
Step 2
Chicken eggs are considered a little less useful. They contain fewer nutrients and their protein is much more likely to cause allergies than the protein of quail eggs. Despite this, nutritionists and doctors recommend including this product in the diet at least several times a week. The yolk of chicken eggs is rich in essential fatty acids, and the protein is almost completely absorbed by the body. In addition, they contain many vitamins and minerals that a person needs to feel good. The disadvantage of such a product is the possible presence of salmonella bacteria, therefore it is undesirable to eat them raw.
Step 3
Duck and goose eggs are eaten much less frequently, although they are also very nutritious. They are high in protein, vitamins, calcium and magnesium. However, they are more fatty than quail and chicken. In addition, they have a pronounced specific taste. Their risk of contracting Salmonella bacteria is very high, so duck and goose eggs should only be eaten hard-boiled.
Step 4
Sometimes they eat ostrich eggs, the weight of which starts from 500 g. Scrambled eggs from one such testicle can feed up to 10 people. Their benefits are also quite high - with a low content of fat and cholesterol, they contain many vitamins and valuable amino acids. However, ostrich eggs can only be tasted in summer, but they have a rather specific taste.
Step 5
As for what form it is best to eat eggs, it all depends on their type. So, quail is much more useful to eat raw - this way they are better absorbed, retain all the useful substances and have a beneficial effect on the stomach. The yolk of chicken eggs is better absorbed by the body in its raw form, and the protein in boiled. However, in order not to get sick with salmonellosis and at the same time to preserve most of the vitamins, it is better to eat them cooked soft-boiled. Duck and goose eggs should only be eaten if they are hard boiled. Ostrich, as a rule, are suitable only for cooking scrambled eggs or omelet.
