About Eggs poached
Eggs poached are a classic preparation of eggs, where they are gently cooked in simmering water without their shells. This minimalist cooking method preserves their delicate texture and rich flavor, making them a staple in Western cuisine, especially in dishes like Eggs Benedict. Originating from European culinary traditions, poached eggs have gained global popularity for their simplicity and versatility. They are an excellent source of high-quality protein, vitamins such as B12, riboflavin, and essential minerals including selenium and iron. As they are typically cooked without added fats, poached eggs can be a healthier option compared to frying or scrambling with butter or oil. However, their healthiness depends on the accompaniments; pairing them with high-fat sauces or processed meats may reduce their nutritional appeal. Ideal for balanced diets, poached eggs offer nourishment while supporting heart health and weight management when enjoyed in moderation.
