About Century egg
Century egg, also known as preserved egg or hundred-year egg, is a Chinese delicacy made by preserving duck, chicken, or quail eggs in a mixture of clay, ash, salt, quicklime, and rice hulls for several weeks or months. This process transforms the egg whites into a translucent brown jelly and the yolks into a creamy, dark-green center with a rich, savory flavor. Century eggs are rich in protein and contain essential amino acids, selenium, and small amounts of iron, making them a source of nutrients for energy and cellular repair. However, the sodium content in century eggs can be high due to the preservation process, so they should be consumed in moderation, particularly for individuals monitoring salt intake. Often featured in traditional Chinese dishes like congee and cold appetizers, this unique food showcases the rich history and culinary creativity of Chinese cuisine.
