The key to the production of preserved eggs is whether the protein inside them is completely gelled. Therefore, during the production process, they must be immersed in a strong alkaline solution to achieve protein denaturation and produce special flavor and color. However, in order to avoid reliquefaction after gelation, which would cause deterioration of the finished product, lead oxide, copper sulfate and methionine are usually added to the alkaline solution to prevent reliquefaction. The lead residue that everyone is concerned about is the residue of this chemical substance in the eggshell.

Generally speaking, the nutritional value of preserved eggs is: rich in iron, methionine (essential amino acid), and vitamin E (the above is compared with eggs). The disadvantages are: proteins denatured by alkaline solution are not easily absorbed, and LAL (lysinoalanine) in the denatured protein has unconfirmed kidney damage in animal experiments.

Through the above introduction, everyone can understand that preserved eggs are edible. Women who are menstruating can also eat it, but do not eat it for a long time. If you eat it for a long time, it can easily cause lead poisoning, so be careful. It is best not for children to eat it, but friends with hot tempers can eat it in moderation.
