A boiled whole egg is a nutrient-dense food commonly enjoyed in cuisines worldwide. This simple preparation involves cooking an egg, shell intact, in boiling water until the yolk and whites solidify, typically taking 6-12 minutes depending on desired firmness. A single boiled egg is rich in high-quality protein, essential vitamins like B12, D, and choline, as well as minerals like selenium and phosphorus, which support muscle repair, brain health, and immune function. It contains healthy fats and is relatively low in calories, making it a popular choice for weight management and balanced diets. Originating from ancient cooking practices, boiled eggs are versatile, eaten as snacks or additions to salads and meals across cultures. Although they contain cholesterol, most research shows moderate consumption is safe for heart health in most people. Pairing boiled eggs with nutrient-rich side dishes further enhances their dietary value.
