Quail eggs, like quail meat, have always been a delicacy in food and have very high medicinal value.
Most quail eggshells are gray-white, with red-brown and purple-brown mottling. High-quality eggs have bright color, hard shells, deep yellow yolks, and thick egg whites. The weight of the egg is about 10 grams, smaller than chicken eggs and pigeon eggs, but the nutritional value is nearly three times that of chicken eggs. How to eat quail eggs to maximize nutrition? These methods are recommended to everyone.
Benefits of Eating Quail Eggs
Quail eggs have good auxiliary therapeutic effects on diseases such as pulmonary diseases, hepatitis, meningitis, gastric diseases, diabetes, bronchial asthma, heart disease, neurasthenia, hypertension, hypotension, arteriosclerosis, malnutrition, physical weakness, and pediatric malnutrition.
01
Brain Health
Although the protein and fat content of quail eggs are comparable to chicken eggs, they contain 3-4 times more phospholipids and brain phospholipids than chicken eggs. These two substances are essential nutrients for advanced neural activities. It can be said that quail eggs are an excellent supplement for mental workers.
02
Protect Vision
The riboflavin content in quail eggs is 2.5 times that of chicken eggs, which has a good protective effect on the eyes of people who work in front of computers all day.
03
Enhance Memory
Due to the smaller nutrient molecules in quail eggs, they are easier to absorb and utilize than chicken eggs. In addition, quail eggs have a higher content of vitamin D, which is incomparable to eggs of other poultry. Researchers at the University of Manchester in the UK tested more than 3,000 men in eight European cities and found that people with high vitamin D levels performed better in brain memory and information processing tests.
04
Low Cholesterol
Many people discard egg yolks due to cholesterol issues. In fact, egg yolks not only contain more cholesterol but also rich phospholipids, which can emulsify cholesterol and fats into extremely fine particles that can be directly utilized by tissues through blood vessel walls, so eating egg yolks generally does not increase the concentration of cholesterol in the blood. According to analysis, quail eggs contain 30% more protein than chicken eggs, while the cholesterol content is lower than that of chicken eggs. Research data shows that the cholesterol content of quail eggs per 100 grams is 515 milligrams, while that of chicken eggs is 585 milligrams.
Whether it is quail eggs or chicken eggs, steaming or boiling is the best way to eat them, with a digestion and absorption rate of almost 100%.
