Benefits of Eating Preserved Eggs:
1. Cooling and Heat-clearing
Preserved eggs have a cooling nature and a sweet and astringent taste. They have the effects of clearing heat, relieving alcohol intoxication, and removing excessive heat from the large intestine. Eating preserved eggs with vinegar can help clear heat, reduce inflammation, prevent and treat hypertension, and relieve thirst and dry throat.
2. Appetite Stimulant
Preserved eggs are made from duck eggs and are rich in minerals. The fat and total calories are reduced. Eating preserved eggs can stimulate the digestive organs, increase appetite, and promote nutrient absorption.
3. Relieving Excessive Gastric Acid
Preserved eggs are alkaline foods because strong alkaline substances such as lime are used in the preservation process. They can neutralize gastric acid and relieve symptoms of gastric pain caused by excessive gastric acid.
