Solving the Mystery: Why Do Your Hard-Boiled Eggs Have Green Yolks?

Introduction: Ever wondered why sometimes your perfectly boiled egg has a greenish or grayish ring around the yolk? Though harmless, this discoloration can be unappealing. Let’s delve into what causes this phenomenon and how you can consistently achieve vibrant, golden yolks every time!

Ingredients:

Fresh eggs
Cold water
Ice cubes

Preparation:

Place eggs gently in a single layer at the bottom of a saucepan.
Cover eggs with cold water, ensuring they’re submerged by at least one inch.
Bring water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, turn off heat, cover the pan, and let eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
Transfer eggs immediately into ice-cold water (an ice bath) for at least 5 minutes to halt the cooking process.
