Boiled Eggs vs. Raw Eggs: Safety, Protein, and Benefits

Eggs are a great source of protein, important for your body.

The question is, should you eat them raw or cooked?

It turns out that when you eat an egg, your body can absorb more protein if the egg is cooked.

Eating raw eggs can lead to absorbing less protein because of a protein called avidin, which stops your body from absorbing a vitamin.

Also, raw eggs may have bad bacteria that can make you sick.

Boiling eggs kills this bacteria, so they are safer to eat.

Boiled eggs also make a great, easy snack!
