Preserved eggs, also known as century eggs or pidan, are a traditional Chinese delicacy made by preserving duck, chicken, or quail eggs in a mixture of clay, ash, salt, quicklime, and rice hulls for weeks to months. This process transforms the yolk into a creamy dark green or black color and the egg white into a translucent amber jelly. Rich in flavor, preserved eggs are commonly used in congee, salads, and dishes across Chinese and Southeast Asian cuisines. Nutritionally, they provide protein and small amounts of essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin B12 and iron. However, they are high in sodium due to the preservation method and may contain trace amounts of lead or other additives depending on production practices. Moderation is advised when consuming preserved eggs, especially for individuals monitoring their sodium intake.
