But first, let's find out about the healthiest egg dish.

What form of eggs are the most useful?

The answer is simple: the product will bring maximum benefit to the body if the protein is very tender and the yolk is runny.

In other words, soft-boiled eggs and poached eggs have the most beneficial effect on the body.

Which egg dish is the most harmful?

But you should eat fried eggs less often. The fact is that heat treatment in a frying pan deprives the product of many useful compounds. On the contrary, dangerous components are formed.

But it’s not so bad if the eggs are cooked in vegetable or ghee.

Much worse is the use of butter. An egg fried in this product is the most harmful "egg" dish.

After all, when heat-treated, butter releases carcinogens. In addition, advanced glycation end products are formed, which contribute to the acceleration of the aging process.
