About Salted eggs

Salted eggs are a traditional Asian delicacy, particularly popular in Chinese, Filipino, and Thai cuisines. Made by curing duck or chicken eggs in a brine or packing them in salted charcoal, they develop a firm, flavor-packed yolk and a slightly salty egg white. These eggs are rich in protein, essential fats, and vitamins such as vitamin A and B-complex. The vibrant orange yolks are prized for their creamy texture and umami taste, often used in congee, mooncakes, or as a topping for dishes. While salted eggs can be a nutritious addition in moderation, they are high in sodium due to the curing process, which may not be suitable for individuals with sodium-sensitive conditions, like high blood pressure. Enjoying them occasionally and balancing them with other wholesome foods can be part of a healthy, flavorful diet.
