About Salted egg

Salted egg, a preserved delicacy originating from Chinese cuisine, is typically made by curing duck or chicken eggs in a mixture of salt and water or packed in salted charcoal. Known for its vibrant orange yolk and rich, creamy texture, salted eggs boast a unique savory flavor that enhances many dishes. Nutritionally, they are protein-rich and provide essential vitamins like B12 and minerals such as selenium and phosphorus. However, they are also high in sodium, making moderation essential to avoid excessive salt intake. The fat content, particularly in duck eggs, contributes to their indulgent taste but may not suit those with dietary restrictions. Salted eggs are widely used in Asian dishes, from congee and mooncakes to modern fusion recipes like salted egg chips. While flavorful and nutrient-dense, their high cholesterol and sodium levels should be considered as part of a balanced diet.
