How to Eat Raw Eggs Safely

[Badger67]

As long as the shell isnt cracked there isnt an issue.
Ive been eating raw eggs since i was a kid as have most people i know. Nobody got sick from it or from unpasturized milk.

Pretty much everything in this post is wrong.

cool, elaborate then

Sometimes personal experience trumps data.

Metabolically it's a detriment. Components of the egg white when raw partially inhibit metabolism of the yolk.

Over easy or any other method with cooked egg white / rare yolk is the most metabolically efficient method of consuming them.


I generally see the raw consumption with gym rats who don't know how to cook.

furthest thing from a gym bro.


Egg whites do contain avidin which binds to biotin and can cause a biotin deficiency when consumed excessively. The yolks are also rich In Biotin though so It does balance out.

There Is so much conflicting data on eggs that It's difficult to speak In absolute terms. Even with a single study.

Provide some data though, I'd like to see what you're speaking of. I know many people who've been consuming raw eggs for nearly 10 years and have experienced noticeable benefits compared to cooking.

The salmonella risk is increased when hens are raised in unsanitary conditions, which is extremely rare for small organic farms where the chickens are raised in clean, spacious coops, have access to sunlight, and forage for their natural food. Conventional eggs, making up the vast majority of eggs in typical grocery stores, have an increased risk for salmonella, which is why I advise against eating conventional eggs raw. One study by the British government found that 23 percent of farms with caged hens tested positive for salmonella, compared to just over 4 percent in organic flocks and 6.5 percent in free-range flocks.


So far, not one case of food-borne pathogens has been reported among the thousands ofpastured poultry producers, many of whom have voluntarily had their birds analyzed. Routinely, these home-dressed birds, which have not been treated with chlorine to disinfect them, show numbers far below industry comparisons. At Polyface [Joel’s farm], we even tested our manure and found that it contained no salmonella.

One tip you can practice is washing your pastured eggs with soapy water before consuming them raw. If there is salmonella present, it is most likely on the shell due to contact with the chicken feces. But even without this step (which I do not practice, by the way), your chances of getting a salmonella infection is very low given the research on pastured egg safety.

Pastured eggs – Pastured eggs come from hens who are allowed to roam in pasture – as nature intended! Chickens are not vegetarians, they are meant to forage for grubs and bugs in grass and manure. While supplementing their diet with some grain-based feed (not soy feed) is a traditional practice, the chickens should also be eating grubs. If you are purchasing pastured eggs directly from a farmer whom you trust, there is no need for the eggs to be certified organic. The organic certification is very pricey and many family farmers cannot afford it.

Another vote in favor for either cooked or raw pastured eggs? A study from Mother Earth News showed that pastured eggs are significantly more nutrient dense than conventional supermarket eggs.
Egg Yolks: Nature’s Multivitamin
Did you know that the yolk is the most nutritious part of the egg? The white contains protein, but the yolk packs nearly all of the vitamin and mineral content. Also important, the egg yolk contains the fat and cholesterol. For decades, nutritionists told us to favor the whites over the yolks. That makes me so sad… It’s time to eat the yolks, folks!

Pastured eggs, both raw and cooked, provide a dense source of nutrition. Adding raw eggs – or just raw egg yolks – to your daily smoothie or whisked into homemade chocolate milk or soup is a convenient way to boost your intake of vitamins, minerals and fat-soluble vitamins. Consuming the egg yolks raw also preserves the vitamin B6 content, which is diminished with heat.

shelve them.

I wish I could do raw eggs. The yolks I can handle just fine raw, but there must be something about uncooked egg whites that give me stomach cramps. My happy medium is cooking them sunny side up. Best of both worlds.

as It says In the article, they need to be high quality. Otherwise you shouldn't be eating them raw.

Well....As the article probably doesn't know, I get them from my cousin's farm where they also sell raw milk and grassfed/grass finished beef. Quality is not an issue. I get the same reaction every time from raw egg whites whether it be store bought or pastured.

ah I see, that's fair.

Yeah, everyone's different In that sense. Can you eat the yolks raw? They tend to be better for you anyways, mostly people just have issues with the whites It seems like.

Yeah I have no problem with the raw yolks. I've experimented whole raw, just raw yolks, and just raw whites. Whole eggs and just the whites give me stomach cramps all day long when eaten raw.

I also hate wasting food so if I can eat the entire egg when I cook it correctly then that's what I do. Sunny side up is a good compromise since the yolk remains intact for the most part and the whites get cooked through. That causes no GI distress.

When did we start talking about fish ?


( I know, bloody autocorrect)

But we're talking about high protein food for sherdog alphas

I got some raw egg you can chug if you know what I mean

 

[rocketskates]

Never had an issue with raw eggs. The inside of the egg should be sanitary, most of the germs are introduced via the shell so just be careful when you crack it. If the egg shell is already cracked then don’t eat it.

This is also incorrect.

There are a RIDICULOUS amount of things that are not deeply studied.

Such Is the nature of science. While It remains one of the most powerful tools at our disposal for ascertaining truth, to rely exclusively on the data Is to be trapped In a box. Especially when considering so many Interesting fields of study are rife with corruption, politics and conflicts of Interest. One must rely on all avenues of Information. Personal experience and testimony can be quite powerful. Science begins with experimentation, exploration and corroborating this with whatever other empirical / historical data Is available.
