Considering that quail eggs are smaller in size than chicken eggs, the replacement is made on the basis that approximately four quail eggs (maximum five) are one chicken.

Everything else remains unchanged - the method of preparing the mask, the application technique, and the duration of its effect on the skin (hair).

From my personal observations, I can say this: I am absolutely sure that the quality of masks made from quail eggs is an order of magnitude higher than that of their “chicken” counterparts.

This is evidenced by the final result after I used masks based on quail eggs.

And this is quite logical, since you and I already know that the content of “beauty vitamins” (A, D and E) in quail eggs is much higher, and the quality of the protein itself (if the egg is used together with the protein) is much higher.

How to cook quail eggs?

In fact, it’s as simple as shelling pears.

Everything is exactly the same as with chicken eggs, but you should take into account that they cook faster due to their small size.

Quail eggs are boiled, fried, protein shakes are prepared based on them, and even pickled.

They are added to porridges, soups, purees and sauces.

In absolutely any dish where chicken eggs are supposed to be used, you can safely use quail eggs.

From my own experience, I will say that dishes with quail eggs are much tastier than with chicken eggs, and this applies to both the white and the yolk.

And the yolk of quail eggs is ESPECIALLY delicious, and various sauces and homemade mayonnaise based on quail eggs are simply wonderful, be sure to try it, friends, you will love it!

And considering that quail eggs are not only tastier, but also much healthier than chicken eggs, I think that I have now become a fan of them for a long time.

The most important thing when preparing dishes with quail eggs is to take into account that one chicken egg is equal to 4-5 quail eggs.

And, of course, it is necessary to wash them thoroughly before use, no one has canceled this either, since, despite their environmental friendliness, they are still sold in the store unwashed, and it is not worth exposing yourself to danger again.

It is very useful to eat raw quail eggs, especially on an empty stomach, it gives real HEALING effect, and is recommended by nutritionists as a treatment and prevention of many diseases of internal organs.

A few raw quail eggs on an empty stomach in the morning guarantees both adults and children good health And excellent health during the day!

2. Milkshake (I use plant milk and dairy products for plant based, and you choose what you want): for dairy products, take milk, yogurt, whey, cream, sour cream, kefir and fermented baked milk, combine them to your liking, add raw quail eggs. Can be sweetened with honey or pre-soaked dried fruits.
3. Banana milkshake: milk or yogurt or kefir + quail eggs + banana. You can add honey or dried fruits. But for those losing weight, just a banana is better
4. Cereal shake: milk + eggs + oatmeal + honey. You can add fruit and bran for fiber.
5. Buckwheat cocktail: sprouted or soaked green buckwheat + sweet apple (for those losing weight - green “seven” type) + juice or water + quail eggs. Sooo delicious!

That is, as a liquid base for such cocktails, we take juices or milk (vegetable or cow) and add quail eggs there. Fruits, vegetables and grains take longer – your choice.

It would be very good to enrich such cocktails with greens (especially spinach and parsley), sunflower seeds, chia, nuts, dried fruits, sprouted green buckwheat, flax seeds, and various superfoods.

Features of quail eggs

Quail eggs deserve special attention. Their attractive appearance, reminiscent of sea pebbles, alone makes quail eggs a selective product for children. They are not only tasty and very healthy for the child’s body, but also do not cause diathesis and do not have any side effects.

Quail eggs contain a special substance tyrosine, involved in the formation of skin pigment and giving it a healthy appearance. This property of eggs determines their use in the cosmetics industry.

Quail eggs are rich lysozyme- an enzyme that has the ability to dissolve harmful bacteria, thereby providing immunity and increasing human health. Lysozyme cleanses the kidneys and liver in the body. In addition, thanks to it, the protein in the shell of quail eggs is preserved for a long time and does not deteriorate, and after time it simply dries out. The shell of quail eggs is thicker than chicken eggs, so eggs can be stored twice as long as chicken eggs.

And finally, it has been scientifically proven that quail eggs cannot be infected with salmonellosis, for the reason that the body temperature of quails is 42 degrees, which does not allow salmonella microorganisms to survive. This opinion was recently confirmed by the host of the “Live Healthy” program E. Malysheva. Moreover, it has been established that quail eggs are practically sterile.

Thus, it turns out that quail eggs are even more useful than chicken eggs.

The calorie content of quail eggs is 168 kcal/100 grams.

The benefits of eggs for dietary nutrition, for children, men and women

• Chicken and quail eggs are a natural dietary protein product, easily digestible up to 98%, used in human nutrition since ancient times. Quail ones are especially useful.
• Beneficial substances, such as amino acids contained in eggs and involved in the construction and formation of organs, allow the yolk to be used in children's nutrition infancy. Once upon a time, complementary feeding began at 3-4 months, today doctors have slightly delayed the period to a later date and recommend starting from 10-12 months.
• Eggs have a low calorie content and at the same time are quite nutritious, so they can be used in dieting and weight loss. So, one egg is only 80 kcal and 13% protein!
• For men eggs indispensable product, help to increase muscle mass so necessary for them in physical work.
• Eggs are stored quite well and for a long time - they are indispensable on the road, as a snack at work, and thanks to their satiety, they are loved by people. Eggs are an irreplaceable product and, as we see, are useful for all categories of the population from children to the elderly.

To get rid of the problem of short stature, researchers suggest early age eat at least one egg a day. According to scientists, this is enough for the child to begin to reach upward.

The researchers conducted their experiment in Ecuador. Here, according to scientists, the country is not rich, so at an early age children do not receive required quantity nutrients needed for growth.

160 children took part in the program. At the start, their age was 6-9 months. Half were given one egg per day, the control group remained on a normal diet. Six months later, the results were compared, Gazeta.ru reports.

It turned out that children who received one egg daily had virtually no problems with growth and normal development, while in the control group the children remained expectedly less developed.

According to pediatricians and researchers, eggs contain a variety of nutrients. Children who do not receive the required amount clearly have pronounced delays V physical development. This problem is especially relevant for poor countries.

Eggs are a product available almost all over the world, and also inexpensive. Daily use Eating eggs to children can at least partially compensate for the lack of all components necessary for growth, which children must receive from food during development and adulthood.

Eggs can be consumed in any form, from raw (if you are confident in their quality, to boiled, fried, or as an addition to salads)

Choose eggs with white or brown shells

Everything is at your discretion. There is no particular sensitive difference between white and brown eggs; their composition is approximately the same. The color of the shell determines the color of the hen. White chickens lay white eggs, and motley chickens lay brown eggs.

Scientists have only found that brown eggs contain more omega-3 than white eggs. Although this difference is insignificant. In addition, there are opinions that brown ones have slightly less cholesterol than white ones. This is all provided that the chickens are kept in the same conditions and eat the same food.

The strength of the shell is often determined by the age of the chicken. The older the bird, the stronger the shell. And very often, adjusting nutrition increases the strength of the shell.

So when choosing eggs, you should not be guided by color, the deadline is more important when they were taken down and what they fed the birds, that is taste qualities eggs

Useful properties of eggshells

There is a lot of discussion about the benefits of eggshells. Doctors consider it useless and poorly or completely indigestible by the body. However, artificial calcium preparations are prescribed to everyone, and yet eggshells are natural. It is formed inside the body of a chicken, quail or other bird, therefore this fact alone suggests that it is more beneficial than any calcium-containing drug or dietary supplement with it. In addition, people who take shells indicate good result in treatment.

I assume that this is another conspiracy between doctors and pharmaceutical companies, who will buy drugs if eggshells are available to everyone for free.

The shell of poultry is 90% calcium carbonate, the rest consists of no less useful 27 microelements: iron, phosphorus, zinc, manganese, sulfur, silicon, copper, fluorine, molybdenum. Silicon and molybdenum are rarely found in other products, and calcium carbonate from the shell is perfectly absorbed by the body.

Therefore, eggshells and quails and chickens - important source these elements. You can use it in food, if you have a lack of calcium, by rinsing it well with water, drying it and grinding it in a coffee grinder. It is recommended to add a few drops of lemon juice to the crushed shells. However, it is important to know that the body actually experiences a calcium deficiency, otherwise it may be deposited on the walls of blood vessels and cause harm to the entire body.

It is better to start taking eggshells gradually with a small dose at the end of a teaspoon, working up to 1/2 teaspoon for an adult per day. Better reception Exercise in the morning, immediately after drinking a glass of water, to avoid constipation. You can divide the portion into two times: in the morning and before lunch.

Harm to eggs

1. It was precisely because of the contents in the egg that nutritionists attacked it. But as a result of new research, it has been established that although the yolk of an egg contains cholesterol, it is thanks to a special enzyme lecithin, which not only compensates for, but also removes fats from the body. Scientists have determined that there are 1.5 times less harmful saturated fats than healthy unsaturated fats.

2. Egg is an allergenic product. However, allergies most often occur in children aged 5-7 years. That is, the occurrence of an allergy to eggs in adults is unlikely. Therefore in childhood You should limit your child’s consumption of eggs or always monitor the body’s reaction to this product.

3.Egg is enough high-calorie product. His calorie content is 155 kcal per 100 gram of product or 75 -80 kcal in an egg. On the one hand, this is good, but for people who care about their weight - negative factor. For such categories, it is important to limit consumption to 1 egg per day. This is what nutritionists recommend, but there is no clear evidence that eggs are harmful. In addition, it was found that poultry farm workers who often use this product a lot did not show any health abnormalities at all, and if they did, then no more than other people.

1. Possibility of infection Salmanellosis. There is no need to eat untested eggs. All eggs sold in stores undergo quality control. In addition, all chickens on farms are vaccinated. Quails are not subject to vaccination, but usually due to their young age (quails begin laying eggs at the age of 45-55 days). And yet, if you are not sure about the quality of the eggs, you need to cook them longer, at least 10 minutes.
2. However no need to overcook eggs, it is known that the longer the egg is boiled, the harder it will be to digest.

So, as we see, the beneficial properties of eggs are much greater than the harmful ones. However, we must remember that all these beneficial properties apply to poultry eggs. Many producers, in pursuit of quantity, stimulate the egg production of chickens through various chemical additives, antibiotics and the wrong feed. One can only guess what quality these eggs are, which you and I, of course, eat.
