How to cook eggs for babies

Families still need to take it seriously when adding complementary foods to their children. They must ensure sufficient nutritional intake and better absorption and digestion to promote the baby's growth and development. So what are some ways to cook eggs suitable for babies? It is very good for babies to eat some eggs appropriately, but considering the aspects of nutritional absorption and difficulty in swallowing, it is better to make them into egg custard.

In terms of nutrient absorption and digestibility: boiled eggs and steamed eggs are 100%, scrambled eggs are 97%, tender-fried eggs are 98%, deep-fried eggs are 81%, eggs mixed with boiling water or milk are 92%, and raw eggs are 30% to 50%. It can be seen that steaming and boiling are the best ways to eat eggs. When eating boiled eggs, you should pay attention to chewing slowly, otherwise it will affect digestion and absorption.

It takes about 8 to 10 minutes to boil eggs. At this time, the eggs are just right, not too old. The bacteria are killed, and the ingredients that affect protein absorption are removed. The protein has not become old and denatured, and the taste is the best. When frying eggs, be careful to use less oil to avoid the eggs becoming a carrier of oil, resulting in high oil and fat content. At the same time, be careful to avoid the eggs from burning. The protein in burnt eggs has been destroyed and carcinogens will be produced.

For children and the elderly, steamed egg custard and egg drop soup are more suitable, because these two methods can loosen the protein and make it easier to digest and absorb. Eggs do not contain high levels of vitamin C, so it is best to eat them with an appropriate amount of vegetables. Eggs are nutritious foods that everyone knows. According to scientific analysis, egg yolks are rich in lecithin, which can enhance memory. After lecithin is digested, it releases bile alkaloids, which enter the blood and quickly reach the brain.

Recent studies in the United States, Britain, Canada and other countries have pointed out that a rhythmic supply of sufficient nutrient bile can avoid memory loss, which is common in people around 60 years old, and improve memory loss in people of all ages. Therefore, eating some egg yolks in a planned way can enhance the memory of infants and young children.

The above article gives a clear introduction to the ways to cook eggs that are suitable for babies, and I believe everyone is clear about it. Children's complementary foods should be as diverse as possible to meet their growth and development needs and avoid malnutrition. In addition, you should pay attention to a light diet and no salt should be added to children under one year old.
