Can overnight eggs be eaten?
Eggs are rich in nutrients, especially the content of lecithin is very high. Its main component is lecithin, which can promote brain development. Therefore, egg yolk contains a high content of lecithin. Egg yolk contains lecithin, which can enhance memory ability and intelligence and promote brain development. Therefore, eating eggs regularly can effectively help people improve their memory and thinking ability. But recently there is a saying that overnight eggs cannot be eaten because they contain bacteria.
1. What is bacteria?
Bacteria are the most common type of microorganisms in nature, with diverse and complex shapes. Generally speaking, bacteria are composed of cells and are composed of many cells, such as bacterial cells, bacteria, etc. Bacterial cells generally have three characteristics: cell wall , and the liquid contained in the cells. The cell wall is mainly composed of amino acids; the cell membrane is mainly composed of amino acids and sugar. The bacterial cell wall also has two characteristics: one is that the cell wall is very thin, only 1~2μm; the other is that the cell wall structure is complex. The bacterial cell wall generally has 3 to 5 cell walls, unlike the protein , which has 4 to 6 cell fluid ; but the surface of the cells is smooth. The bacterial cell wall is very thin, usually only 1~2μm thick; the cell wall contains a large amount of sugars and amino acids and other nutrients, which is also one of the main components of the bacterial cell wall.
2. Why can’t you eat overnight eggs?
From a scientific point of view, eggs themselves do not produce bacteria. However, if it is left for too long, a large number of bacteria will be produced. Eggs contain a large amount of bacteria and harmful substances, which can easily cause gastrointestinal diseases such as abdominal pain and diarrhea. And after being left for too long, bacteria will still grow on the surface of the egg, which may cause bacteria to enter the inside of the egg. So this leads to the saying that eggs cannot be eaten overnight.
3. How to store and heat it to ensure that you don’t eat overnight eggs?
Eggs should not be refrigerated for more than 24 hours, and the refrigerator temperature should be controlled below 5 degrees. Eggs should not be frozen because when the temperature is low or high, the protein in the eggs will condense, causing the damage to nutrients. The best way to store eggs in the refrigerator is to put them in a pot and cook them, or put them in a bowl to avoid mixing with other foods. If the eggs are cooked, rinse them with cold water three times immediately, then soak them in cold water for an hour or longer. If the eggs are found to have abnormal odor, yellowing or other abnormal phenomena when heating again, they should be discarded. In addition, do not eat fresh eggs immediately, and it is recommended to finish them within 2-3 days.
