About Herbal egg

Herbal eggs are a savory, nutritious treat commonly found in Chinese cuisine, particularly as part of street food and breakfast offerings. These eggs are typically simmered in a fragrant blend of herbal ingredients, soy sauce, tea leaves, and spices, such as star anise, cinnamon, and cloves, which infuse the egg with a deep, earthy flavor. Originating from traditional Chinese medicinal practices, herbal eggs are believed to offer health benefits due to the use of beneficial herbs that promote digestion and boost immunity. They are a good source of high-quality protein and essential vitamins such as B12 and riboflavin. However, depending on the recipe, they may contain soy sauce, which can be high in sodium, so individuals monitoring their salt intake should consume them in moderation. Overall, herbal eggs combine rich flavor with nutritional perks, making them a balanced addition to meals for those seeking wholesome options.
