About One century egg
Century Egg, also known as preserved egg or hundred-year egg, is a traditional Chinese delicacy made by preserving duck, chicken, or quail eggs in a mixture of clay, ash, salt, quicklime, and rice hulls for several weeks to months. The preservation process transforms the egg’s texture and flavor, turning the whites into a translucent jelly and the yolks into a creamy, dark green or gray center with a bold, pungent taste. Rich in protein, it also contains minerals like iron, selenium, and phosphorus. However, some methods of preservation may involve high sodium levels, which can be a concern for blood pressure. Widely enjoyed in congee, salads, or as a side dish, its moderate calorie count and nutrient profile can complement a balanced diet, though it is best consumed in moderation due to potential salt content. This unique food reflects centuries of culinary traditions and innovation.
