What it is

A hard-cooked egg is a whole chicken egg that has been boiled in its shell until both the white and yolk are solid. The cooking process makes the egg easier to handle and preserve, and it changes the texture and flavor.

Why it's used

Hard-cooked eggs are often used as a convenient source of protein and flavor in prepared foods. They are commonly found in salads, sandwiches, and as a topping for various dishes.

Health notes

Eggs are a source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. The FDA considers eggs to be a major food allergen. There are no specific regulatory limits on egg consumption from bodies like JECFA or EFSA, as it is a whole food. Concerns about cholesterol in eggs have been debated, but current dietary guidelines suggest moderate egg consumption is acceptable for most people.

Allergen info

Eggs are one of the 9 major food allergens identified by the FDA. This means products containing eggs must be clearly labeled.
