Lately, the topic of egg consumption has been a subject of debate. Heart specialists caution against overeating, recommending not to exceed 2-3 eggs per week, while other specialized nutrition experts reassure that eggs can be a daily form of supplementing complete protein in the diet. Thus, we consider this small, underestimated food item.

Angebotene Eier auf dem Markt

In den Läden finden wir ökologische Hühner-Eier in verschiedenen Größen von S bis XL. Immer öfter findet man auch grünhühnereier, die kleiner und etwas teurer sind. Gelegentlich stößt man auch auf Wachteleier, die eine Quelle von Omega-3- und Omega-6-Fettsäuren sind. Allerdings ist ihr Nachteil der hohe Preis. Eine exotische Option sind Straußeneier, die sehr beliebt in Südafrika sind. Abgesehen von der Größe (1,5 kg) unterscheiden sie sich nicht wesentlich von Hühnereiern in Bezug auf den Nährwert oder den Geschmack.

Der Nährwert der Bestandteile von Eiern

In 100 g Eiern sind ungefähr 140 kcal enthalten. Eier sind eine Quelle für vollwertiges und leicht verdauliches Eiweiß, Fette, einschließlich Cholesterin, und in geringerem Maße Kohlenhydrate. Eier bestehen aus Eigelb und Eiweiß, die sich in Bezug auf Makro- und Mikronährstoffe erheblich unterscheiden. In der Tabelle sind Daten zu den grundlegenden Bestandteilen von Eiern dargestellt. Der Nährwert in 100 g Eisen [mg] Zink [mg] Eier enthalten große Mengen an Eisen, Zink und Fett im Eigelb. Darüber hinaus ist im Eigelb Immunglobulin Y enthalten, das bei der Behandlung bakterieller Infektionen des Verdauungssystems hilft. Studien betonen, dass Lysozym, das in Eiweiß enthalten ist, bei der Behandlung bösartiger Tumore helfen kann. Vitamine: – Vitamin A: 272 µg, – Vitamin D: 1, 7 µg, – Vitamin E: 0, 73 mg, – Thiamin: 0, 064 mg, – Riboflavin: 0, 542 mg, – Niacin: 0, 06 mg, – Vitamin B6: 0, 1 mg, – Vitamin B12: 1, 6 mg, – Folsäure: 65 µg.

Was ist das für Cholesterin in Eiern?

Eier haben einen hohen Cholesterinspiegel, wobei der Gehalt im Dotter bis zu 1062 mg dieses Stoffes beträgt, während das Protein überhaupt kein Cholesterin enthält. Der durchschnittliche Cholesteringehalt in einem Ei beträgt ca. 180 mg, was fast die gesamte zulässige Tagesdosis darstellt. Heißt das, dass man nicht mehr als ein Ei pro Tag essen sollte? Nein. Laut Forschern der Szkoła Główna Gospodarstwa Wiejskiego (SGGW) wird Cholesterin aus Eiern völlig anders metabolisiert als Cholesterin aus anderen Produkten und sollte sich nicht in den Arterien ablagern. Es ist möglich, bis zu drei Eier pro Tag zu essen. Vorsicht! Dies ist jedoch keine Norm für jeden. Personen mit erhöhtem Cholesterinspiegel im Blut sollten die Anzahl der Eier in ihrer Ernährung auf 2-3 pro Woche beschränken.

Gesundheitsfördernd für das Augenorgan

Eier sind eine geschätzte Quelle für Vitamin A. Sie bieten bemerkenswerte Mengen an Retinol und Beta-Carotin, was sie zu einer hervorragenden Komponente für die Augengesundheit macht. Sie bieten Schutz vor schädlichen UVB- und UVA-Strahlen. Die in Eiern enthaltenen Zeaxanthin und Lutein verhindern die Degeneration der gelben Flecken im Auge.

Eine Quelle von nützlichem Zink

Hühner Eier stellen eine beträchtliche Quelle von Zink dar, das den Geschmacks- und Geruchssinn beeinflusst und das Immunsystem stärkt. Zink spielt eine entscheidende Rolle im Nervensystem, indem es die Erregung und Signalübertragung reguliert, was zu einer Verbesserung der Gedächtnisprozesse führt. Der bedeutende Einfluss von Zink auf den Alkoholstoffwechsel macht es empfehlenswert, Hühnereier zu konsumieren, um die negativen Auswirkungen von übermäßigem Alkoholkonsum zu reduzieren.

Bedeutsame Verbindungen

Das Ei ist eine reiche Quelle für Lecithin und Cholin, die einen bedeutenden Einfluss auf das Nervensystem und die Gehirnfunktion haben. Diese Bestandteile sind besonders wichtig für die Entwicklung des Fötus. Die Stärkung der Immunität ist das Ergebnis des Vorhandenseins von Schwefelsäure im Eigelb, die als antivirales und antibakterielles Mittel wirkt und somit die Rotavirusinfektionen eindämmen kann, die für Kinder gefährlich sind. Kanthophylle im Eigelb wirken als Antioxidantien.

Die Verwendung von Eiern in der Küche

Eier sind ein sehr vielseitiger Bestandteil der Küche, der sowohl für süße als auch für herzhafte Gerichte verwendet werden kann. Als Bindemittel sind sie ideal für Kuchen, Füllungen, Omeletts, Pfannkuchen, Frittatas und Crêpes. Aufgrund des geringen Kaloriengehalts von Eiweiß werden Eier häufig als Bestandteil von Diätplänen verwendet. Hartgekochte oder pochierte Eier sind hervorragende Zutaten für Sandwiches. 1 Ei (60 g) = 83 kcal, 1 Eigelb (20 g) = 63 kcal, 1 Eiweiß (40 g) = 20 kcal.
