If you're into nutrition, working out and are eating a high-protein diet, odds are you've eaten egg whites at some point. Hard boiled eggs are a quick and easy way to get your egg whites and protein when you need them. I used to struggle with boiling eggs. The yolks would turn green, or the shell would stick to the egg and after it was peeled, it would look like a over-sized white, mutilated raisin! Using chemistry and a cooking method my Grandma Flora taught me, I will show how to boil eggs perfectly every time! Hard boiled eggs are a quick and easy protein option. You can eat the entire egg or discard the yolk and eat only the white. Hard boiled eggs are a perfect snack to throw in a cooler when traveling, or to keep in the fridge and eat one or two on your way to work (instead of a doughnut).

Directions

  • Fill pot with water (enough to cover your eggs with 1 inch of water)
  • Add 1 tsp of baking soda to the water (maybe more depending on how much water/how many eggs)
  • Bring water and eggs to a rapid boil and keep boiling for 2 minutes
  • After 2 minutes, turn off heat, cover the pot and let stand for 20 minutes
  • Run cold water over eggs (long enough to cool all of them) and peel

Fun Fact: Can't remember if an egg is fresh or hard boiled? Just spin the egg. If it wobbles, it's raw. If it spins easily, it's hard boiled. A fresh egg will sink in water, a stale one will float.

Eggs contain all the essential protein, minerals and vitamins, except Vitamin C. But egg yolks are one of few foods that naturally contain Vitamin D. Eggs also contain choline, which is necessary for healthy cell membranes in the body. Choline stimulates brain development and function and helps preserving memory. Eggs also are good for your eyes because they contain lutein which helps prevents age-related cataracts and muscular degeneration. In fact, eggs contain more lutein than spinach and other green vegetables.
