Don't boil eggs like that anymore

Cooking eggs seems easy, but some bad habits can reduce their nutritional value and pose risks to your health. Here are the most common mistakes and tips for cooking eggs safely.
Common Mistakes That Make Your Eggs Less Healthy

Boiling eggs with tea

Although this practice is common in some cultures, it can be a novice. Tea contains tannic acid, which, when combined with egg proteins, forms a compound that slows digestion. This can lead to discomforts such as constipation, fatigue, and even intoxication.

Cooking eggs too long

Prolonged cooking (more than 15-20 minutes) causes a chemical reaction between the iron and sulfur in the egg. This can create a greenish ring around the yolk, reduce nutrients, and alter the taste of the egg.

Add water while boiling

Introducing water during cooking can cause shells to crack, allowing bacteria to enter and making eggs difficult to peel. This compromises both texture and food safety.
