Maximum benefit: how to cook eggs right and what to eat them with

Eggs may seem like a very mundane product, but it's worth knowing that they are a good source of high quality protein, essential amino acids and vitamins (such as B12, riboflavin, and folate), and minerals (including iron and zinc). They can be used to make delicious scrambled eggs, omelets, and poached eggs in just 5 minutes.

A nutritionist spoke about the benefits of chicken eggs, as well as in what form they are the most useful, on Instagram.

What are the benefits of chicken eggs

"Eggs are a source of high-quality, complete protein, which is absorbed by 98% (and this is great because a product may contain a lot of protein, but not much of it is absorbed. 1 egg is approximately 6 g of protein). One egg contains 23% of the daily value of selenium (for thyroid and heart function). The yolks contain vitamin D, which is responsible for calcium metabolism, bone and dental health, and is necessary for the kidneys, digestive system, and muscles. Chicken eggs from free-range chickens contain 3-4 times more vitamin D.", says the nutritionist.

In what form eggs are the most useful

"You shouldn't eat raw eggs if you don't want to get salmonellosis. You also need to know that raw eggs contain substances that can weaken the action of enzymes that help to absorb some vitamins," the expert clarifies.

The protein of boiled eggs is better absorbed than that of raw eggs! Moreover, boiled eggs are the healthiest, but you need to cook them so that the yolk is runny!
