Everyone knows that walnuts are brain nourishing artifacts, and walnuts are recognized as "brain tonic products" because of their rich nutrients.
But in recent years, a growing body of research has shown that quail eggs are also excellent at improving memory and protecting brain health, even surpassing walnuts in some ways.
Our children are in the development period and need to be replenished with nutrients.
Quail eggs are not only rich in nutrients, but also have a positive effect on children's brain development. It contains a higher amount of lecithin than eggs, which can help children improve their memory.
Today, let's unveil the mystery of quail eggs and see how it has become a "source of wisdom" for children.
Quail eggs are more nutritious than eggs
People always ask me which is more nutritious than quail eggs or eggs, and what is the best thing to eat for children?
In fact, quail eggs and eggs are both nutritious foods, each with a certain nutritional value.
But the nutritional value of quail eggs is far greater than that of eggs.
Here are a few reasons I summarized:
1. Protein quality
Although the protein content in quail eggs is similar to that of eggs, quail eggs may have a higher protein quality.
This is because proteins are made up of amino acids, and the ratio of amino acids in quail eggs is closer to the ideal ratio required by the body, making it easier for the body to absorb and utilize.
2. Vitamins and minerals
Quail eggs may contain more certain vitamins and minerals than eggs.
For example, quail eggs are relatively high in B vitamins (e.g., vitamins B2, B12) and minerals such as iron and calcium. These nutrients are essential for maintaining the normal physiological functions of the human body.
3. Fat and cholesterol
Quail eggs are relatively low in fat, especially saturated fatty acids.
At the same time, the cholesterol content in quail eggs is also relatively low.
These characteristics make quail eggs potentially advantageous in preventing cardiovascular disease.
So, parents, this time you know the nutritional value of quail eggs, right?
Quail eggs also have a variety of benefits
First of all, quail eggs are rich in high-quality protein, which is very easily absorbed and utilized by the body, and is a good product for replenishing deficiency and strengthening the body.
Moreover, quail eggs are also rich in iron, which has a good effect on improving anemia, adjusting the body's qi and blood, and making the complexion ruddy.
At the same time, quail eggs are rich in vitamin D, which can effectively supplement vitamin D for the human body, and people with high levels of vitamin D content in the human body have better brain memory and information processing ability.
Therefore, moderate consumption of quail eggs in infants and young children can promote brain development.
Quail eggs can also play a role in treating diseases, preventing allergies, relieving insomnia, etc.
How to cook quail eggs and how to eat them
There are many ways to cook quail eggs, but if we cook them for children, we can match them according to their tastes and preferences.
Whether boiled, pan-fried, or braised can make a delicious dish.
Here are the cooking methods and eating tips I recommend for my children.
1. Thoroughly cooked first
When cooking quail eggs for children, the first thing we make sure is that they are fully cooked.
This is because undercooked quail eggs may contain bacteria, such as salmonella, which can pose a risk to your child's health when consumed.
Therefore, whether we are boiling, steaming, stir-frying or frying, we should make sure that the quail eggs are fully cooked and the yolk is solidified.
2. Consume in moderation
Some children love to eat quail eggs, but we should be careful: quail eggs are rich in nutrients, but excessive consumption can also lead to overnutrition or the accumulation of certain nutrients.
So for small children, I recommend about 3-5 quail eggs per day.
3. Stewed quail eggs
If you want to cook a simple meal for your child.
We might as well stew quail eggs.
Put the quail eggs in boiling water and boil, remove the shells and put them in clean water to simmer, you can add a little salt, green onions, and ginger to enhance the taste.
In this way, the stewed quail eggs can maintain the original flavor of the quail eggs, which is both healthy and delicious.
4. Pan-fried quail eggs
Some children don't like to eat food with a light taste, so we can choose fried quail eggs.
Cook the shelled quail eggs, coat them in a thin layer of starch and egg wash, fry them in a pan until golden brown, sprinkle with salt and pepper to make them delicious.
Pan-fried quail eggs are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a unique flavor that children must love to eat.
5. Braised quail eggs
Braised quail eggs are a dish that tastes great and tastes. Both adults and children will enjoy eating it.
We boil the quail eggs, remove the shells, fry them in a pan until the surface is slightly yellow, add soy sauce, sugar, water and other seasonings to stew, and then eat after the juice is collected.
Braised quail eggs are delicious and nutritious, remember to put less soy sauce when making them for your child, and it is not good for your child to eat more soy sauce.
