There is a specialty dish in Northeast China, which is solid eggs. Solid eggs are a very delicious food and are very popular among people. Solid eggs are made by first sucking out the egg liquid, mixing it with some edible alkali, and then pouring it into well preserved eggshells. It is very popular in Northeast China. Can I eat solid eggs during pregnancy?
During pregnancy, it is recommended that pregnant women mainly consume fresh food, which contains higher nutritional value and can provide more comprehensive nutrition for the fetus. And solid eggs are food processed from edible alkali. Due to the need for secondary processing in the production of solid eggs, there may be a loss of nutrients, which is not in line with the dietary principles of pregnant women. Therefore, it is not suitable to eat solid eggs during pregnancy.
If pregnant women consume a large amount of solid eggs, it can have an impact on gastrointestinal function and even cause bloating. Because food needs to be broken down and absorbed by stomach acid after entering the gastrointestinal tract, when the human body consumes a certain amount of edible alkali, it will inhibit the secretion of stomach acid, thereby reducing the digestive function of the gastrointestinal tract. From this perspective, solid eggs are also not suitable for pregnant women to consume.
It is recommended that pregnant women eat more fresh eggs during pregnancy. To ensure maximum nutritional value, it is best to use boiled eggs in plain water. This cooking method is also relatively light and more in line with the dietary principles of pregnant women. Pregnant women can also use tomatoes to stir fry eggs, so that the lycopene in tomatoes can blend with the eggs, providing better nutrition.
