Easy Way to Hard Boil Eggs
Tried this today after I saw it on Facebook! You can make hard boiled eggs in the oven! Just preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake them for 30 minutes in a muffin tin. The eggs will peel easily!
I eat a lot of eggs throughout the week. Eat them plain with a little sea salt on top, add to your dark leafy green salads, make vegan mayo or egg salad, or deviled eggs! And remember this tip around Easter if you dye Easter eggs!
Eat the WHOLE egg and not just the whites to get the most nutrients! (Be sure to buy organic, vegetarian-fed, cage free eggs)
The Incredible Egg Health Benefits:
Weight management: The high-quality protein in eggs helps you to feel fuller longer and stay energized, which contributes to maintaining a healthy weight.
Muscle strength and muscle-loss prevention: Research indicates that high-quality protein may help active adults build muscle strength and help prevent muscle loss in middle-aged and aging adults.
Healthy pregnancy: Egg yolks are an excellent source of choline, an essential nutrient that contributes to fetal brain development and helps prevent birth defects. Two eggs provide about 250 milligrams of choline, or roughly half of the recommended daily intake for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
Brain function: Choline also aids the brain function of adults by maintaining the structure of brain cell membranes, and is a key component of the neuro-transmitter that helps relay messages from the brain through nerves to the muscles.
Eye health: Lutein and zeaxanthin, two antioxidants found in egg yolks, help prevent macular degeneration, a leading cause of age-related blindness. Though eggs contain a small amount of these two nutrients, research shows that the lutein from eggs may be more bioavailable than lutein from other food sources.
