Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the safety and nutritional aspects of different ways to consume eggs, emphasizing that cooked eggs are the safest option compared to raw and soft-boiled eggs [1][4]. Safety First - Raw eggs can lead to acute gastroenteritis, causing symptoms like fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting, and there are currently no national standards in China for consuming raw eggs, so it is advised to avoid them [2]. - Soft-boiled eggs, due to insufficient heating, may still harbor pathogens if the eggs are contaminated, posing a risk of infection [3]. - Cooked eggs are considered the safest option as thorough heating can kill harmful bacteria, making them the preferred choice for daily consumption [4]. Cooking Tips for Hard-Boiled Eggs - Before boiling, wash the eggshell under running water to reduce external contamination [5]. - Place room temperature eggs in boiling water and cook for 8-9 minutes, adjusting the time based on the egg size and whether they are taken from the refrigerator [6]. - Avoid overcooking, as it can lead to a dry and hard texture that is difficult to swallow [7]. Maximizing Nutrition - The main nutritional components of the three forms of eggs are similar, but the digestibility varies; raw egg whites contain anti-trypsin, which hinders protein absorption, while cooked eggs have a higher protein digestibility due to the destruction of this inhibitor [8]. - Soft-boiled eggs have a better protein absorption rate than raw eggs but are still less effective than fully cooked eggs [8]. Healthy Egg Consumption - The "Chinese Dietary Guidelines (2022)" recommend that adults consume 40 to 50 grams of eggs daily, equivalent to one egg, and there is no need to discard the yolk as it contains essential nutrients [9]. - For individuals with higher protein needs, such as fitness enthusiasts and pregnant women, it is advisable to increase egg consumption under the guidance of a doctor or nutritionist to meet nutritional requirements [9].
