When it comes to peeled eggs, in fact, there are very few Chinese will not like to eat.
(In fact, Dr. Xiaokang is one of the few dislikes.) ）
However, in foreign countries, pi eggs can be regarded as "demons", and even rated by CNN as the first place in "the 10 most unacceptable Chinese foods for foreigners".
You know, this kind of black guy has conquered the stomachs of thousands of people in China.
Whether it is the skinny egg lean porridge that Canton loves to eat, or the spicy peeled egg that is popular in the southwest, or the peeled egg intestine often eaten in the three northeastern provinces, or the classic appetizer cold dish--- peeled egg mixed with tofu.
From south to north, from east to west, spanning the entire land of China, the charm of pi egg is simply omnipresent.
But the problem is, as the saying goes: egg red is not much.
In recent years, there have been many rumors about the skin egg.
There is also lead in the skin eggs, and eating too much will damage the nervous system
In some rumors, it is rumored that some heavy metals, lead elements and other components contained in the skin egg will cause certain damage to the nervous system, and it is easy for people to have neurological disorders.
Especially for minors, once a large number of peeled eggs are eaten, it is easy to cause the normal development of the nervous system to be affected, and there will be a decline in intelligence and a decline in learning ability.
However, as long as it is a leather egg produced by a regular manufacturer, it is safe and reliable.
Traditional peeled eggs do require lead oxide in the pickling process, mainly to plug small holes in the eggshell and prevent further penetration of alkali, resulting in the melting of the egg white.
This operation will indeed make the lead content of the skin egg exceed the standard.
However, now, most of the regular manufacturers of leather eggs, are using the "lead-free process", can be the original fresh eggs residue lead content does not exceed the national regulations of 0.5 mg / kg.
This dose does not pose a risk to health, so there is no need to worry too much.
Skin eggs, but also affect bone development?
There are also some rumors that children eat too many peeled eggs in their daily diet, which can easily lead to serious calcium deficiency. The lead element in the skin egg will cause a large loss of calcium ions in the body, which will affect the healthy development of bones and teeth.
As mentioned above, the skin eggs purchased on the market today are safe and the lead content is extremely low, so why will it affect bone development?
The skin egg is so black and not slippery, is it poisonous?
In fact, the blackness of the peeled egg is normal, after all, in the process of pickling, the peeled egg needs to be "decomposed and recombined of proteins", and finally browned into a dark substance.
But we also occasionally see some yellow and plump skin eggs on the market, which mainly depends on the variety of fresh eggs, after all, not only duck eggs can make skin eggs, eggs and quail eggs can also be.
Although it looks different in color and size, the delicious food has not changed much, and it is all so delicious.
It is worth mentioning that there are many black spots on the eggshell, which does not mean that the lead content is high, most of them are deposits after the chemical reaction of "processing aids", which are generally affected by temperature, pickling time and other factors.
Although the skin egg is safe, the sodium content of others is not low
According to data analysis, the lead content of a normal-sized leather egg is 542 mg/100 g, which is equivalent to 5 times the sodium content of fresh duck eggs.
Most of the cold mixed skin eggs we generally eat use 2 skin eggs, remove the eggshell, about 120 grams, then it is equivalent to eating 656mg of sodium, which is almost more than 1/3 of the recommended daily intake of the "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents".
In addition, although the skin egg content is high, it is not salty to eat, which leads to us adding a lot of seasonings when making the skin egg related recipes, and the sodium content is naturally higher.
For patients with high blood pressure, even the skin eggs made using modern processes contain very high sodium. Once a person with high blood pressure eats a large amount, it will cause a repeated increase in blood pressure.
Therefore, although the skin eggs are delicious, we still have to restrain ourselves.
But then there's the soft glutinous egg white, the soft yolk and the long, fresh flavor of the egg.
Ask a foodie, who can resist its temptation?
