Quail eggs are treated: what exactly are they capable of helping the human body?
An important factor for the human body is the ability to get not only nutritious, but also healthy food. Here quail eggs can be attributed to such a group.
One of the first qualities that should be paid attention to is the ability to influence the decrease in the amount of cholesterol in the body. If you compare them with chicken, the latter, on the contrary, can only contribute to its formation.
Specially conducted research by scientists has proved that the value of the described product also lies in the ability to positively influence the functioning of the nervous system. Thus, the inclusion of quail eggs in food is recommended for people who suffer from depressive conditions, or, on the contrary, excessive nervousness.
The fact is that the components included in the composition of quail eggs do not just soothe or activate the “nerves”, but stabilize both the processes of arousal and inhibition, enabling a person to very quickly move from one state to another.

Interesting is the fact that eating is recommended even the shell quail eggs.
The fact is that 90% of its composition is pure calcium carbonate. At the same time, it is much easier and faster to digest, even than special drugs that can be purchased at pharmacies.
Also, besides calcium, eggshells are rich in silicon, copper, sulfur, fluorine and even zinc. To compensate for the lack of calcium, it is used in crushed form, and it is recommended even for children, pregnant women and women suffering from menopause.
Such a simple product, which many consider to be waste, is very well reflected in the beauty of hair and nails, bone strength. It is believed that during pregnancy the use of whole eggs softens the manifestations of toxicosis.
Eating raw quail eggs: is it permissible?
The idea that eggs should be eaten raw is supported by the following statement: without heat treatment, almost all products contain much more nutrients. Therefore, in general, this can even be recommended.
But still, there is a certain danger, namely, salmonellosis.
If the eggs are infected with this disease, it can also affect the human body, which is highly undesirable.
Therefore, it is worth eating raw eggs only, obtained from our own production, since in industrial production it is not so easy to keep track of such things, and not all manufacturers are so conscientious.
Quail egg - a necessary component of the diet of men
Of course, not everyone adheres to this rule, because not everyone knows about the possibilities of this product. However, many are not even afraid to call an egg quail a real elixir of strength and youth, and especially a topical remedy for men.
Popular science sources even testify to research that allows quail eggs to be placed on a par with Viagra, and even higher. Of course, that such a 100% effect as a drug can hardly be expected, but it is quite possible to maintain and increase the potency over the years.
The fact is that the components of quail eggs respond positively to the reproductive functions of the male body.
Women's health and quail eggs
During pregnancy, the female body is very depleted, since the need for useful vitamins and trace elements is not only her, but also her child. At this time it is very important to eat not a large amount of food, but little, but very useful.
In particular, such are the quail eggs, as well as their shells. And of course, nothing can replace these eggs during menopause.
What are the negative characteristics of quail eggs you need to know before using them?
Ka is not strange, but there is practically nothing ideal in our world as regards quail eggs. Indeed, in large quantities even medicine is poison, and if we compare the benefits and harms of the eggs described, then the strength of the second can be called much greater.
International studies of the effects of quail eggs on the human body have shown that they have the following disadvantages:
- Above, we wrote that quail eggs help fight the excessive cholesterol content in the body, but many scientists argue the opposite. The fact is that this product also contains cholesterol, although in its characteristics it is significantly different from what our body gets from chicken eggs.
Therefore, if you have cholesterol and so is at a high level - it is better not to risk it, and to abandon this product. The fact is that if this substance accumulates in the body in a very large amount, then the probability of clogging of blood vessels and the formation of blood clots will increase.
Thus, these eggs are not recommended even to those people who suffer from atherosclerosis.
- We have already mentioned salmonella, but it was said that it can only be ached by eating quail eggs in the raw state. But, if boiling eggs was not complete, that is, you ate it cooked soft-boiled, then this danger still remains.
Once in the intestine, this disease is able to bind carbohydrates and alcohols together, which subsequently leads to the production of acids and gases. Very high probability and more serious consequences.
It is also important to note that the bacterium can get into the egg not only from sick quails, but also through the porous structure of the egg shell itself. Therefore, be sure to observe not only the necessary heat treatment measures, but also the storage of the described product.
- Regarding the statement that quail eggs can clean the liver, there are also counterarguments. Although in general, eggs are not able to adversely affect this organ, but their yolk is the cause of the contraction of the gallbladder. As a result, the outflow of bile can begin.
In addition, if there are still stones in the gallbladder, it is better to abandon such attractive at first glance quail eggs.
It is also interesting to read about feeding quails.
Is it true that quail eggs are really dietary?
Dietary can be called only when they comply with the rate of their consumption. Otherwise, if you are very keen on this product, the consequences may be reversed.
After all, all the same, the energy value of the testicles described is very high, and to eat even 10 pieces at a time is a very simple matter for an ordinary person. Therefore, if they get carried away, obesity does not take long.
How long can quail eggs be stored so that they do not turn into poison from a source of health?
Few people pay attention to this, but quail eggs are stored for a very short period of time, only 5-7 days.
After this period, they begin to deteriorate and can cause poisoning even with very thorough cooking. Thus, it is possible to eat quail eggs only fresh.
Also, the integrity of the eggshell plays an important role in the storage of quail eggs.
If you notice any cracks or dents on it when buying, it is better not to take such eggs at all. After all, salmonella nursery can penetrate into the egg even through the shell, any other microbes that are dangerous to humans can get into it through the crack.
Even in the presence of cracks, the egg itself gradually begins to dry out, and at high temperatures it suffocates.
Are allergic reactions to quail eggs possible and can they be given to children?
According to many researchers, this product does not cause allergies even in the smallest children. Pediatricians even recommend quail eggs in children's diathesis. However, due to the unusualness of this product for our organisms, it may even be a very strong allergic, and especially for children's organisms.
In the composition of quail eggs there is one element called ovomucoid. It can cause very serious allergies, even in an adult.
For this reason, you should not start feeding quail eggs with babies at the age of half a year, because during this period of development, children may experience allergic reactions to absolutely all products except mother's milk.
However, the child can be taught to such a product.
If a woman breastfeeds him, then first she should start to eat him a little by herself. If the child does not respond to eggs, then you can try to feed him with eggs no longer through milk, but directly given in a well-prepared form.
You can also show the child to specialists and determine which products and substances he is allergic to.
Also, we can talk about the individual portability of the product, when one person can absorb something in kilograms, and the body of another will simply reject it. This is not something strange and should not cause you concerns about the health of your own body.
What to do: eat or refuse quail eggs?
Deciding on such a course is individually. It’s always worth a try, and if you’re afraid of poisoning yourself with salmonella, you can find dangerous bacteria like it in milk and meat.
But, since we do not aspire to refuse from these products, then quail eggs can also become one of the components of our daily diet. The main thing is to follow the following rules of consumption:
- Carefully look at the shelf life of eggs.
- Check the integrity of the shell.
- Observe the necessary storage rules.
- Apply heat treatment before eating.
How to cook and eat quail eggs?
Cooking these eggs should be absolutely the same as ordinary chicken. Only the cooking time will differ, since their dimensions are much smaller. Before cooking, the eggs are pre-removed from the refrigerator, washed thoroughly and put into water. You need to cook until ready, depending on the state you need:
- Soft-boiled eggs will be ready in 1-2 minutes from the start of boiling water in a saucepan.
- Hard boiled quail eggs are cooked in 5 minutes.
Also, another method of cooking can be applied to quail eggs - in a bag. It consists in the fact that the eggs are lowered into cold water, brought to a boil and immediately removed from the fire. To the pan with hot water they need to hold for another half a minute, and even then get out and rinse with cold water.
How many quail eggs can be eaten so as not to harm your body?
First, you need to familiarize yourself with the calorie content of this product, and already then determine how much you can eat without harm to your figure.
So, 100 grams of eggs contains:
- 168 Kcal.
- 12 grams of fat.
- 13.1 grams of proteins.
Given the fact that the weight of one egg is only 10-12 grams, then you can get this amount of energy by eating 10 pieces. But, in fact, the daily rate of a person is not so high, so it’s enough to eat only 1-2 eggs a day.
Such a dose is quite acceptable even for the strictest diet, while your body will be fully supplied with supplies of both vitamins and minerals.
