Dangerous Egg Boiling Mistakes People Don’t Know About

While boiling eggs may seem simple, many people make common mistakes without realizing the risks.

Boiling Eggs with Tea

This combination is quite dangerous. Tea contains tannic acid, which, when combined with the protein in eggs, forms a compound that slows intestinal movement, causing constipation, fatigue, or even poisoning.

Boiling Eggs Too Long

Boiling eggs for more than 15-20 minutes can reduce their nutritional value. Overcooking causes the iron and sulfur in eggs to combine, lowering their health benefits.
