Guest guest Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Thanks to everyone for all the great information on eating raw eggs--I feel much more confident (and really excited!) about eating them and feeding them to my kids now! a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 whip them into a meringue, and add it to any cake recipe you are making. Makes a huge difference in moistness! Meg N Subject: Re: Eating Raw Eggs? To: trad-foods-MN Date: Friday, October 31, 2008, 3:48 AM This rule of thumb works for me too i.e. yolks raw, whites cooked.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 scramble the whites and add some cheese. Make macaroons or merengues. NT contains recipes for both of these. Also, the recipe for Holiday Pecans on p. 514 uses egg whites. > This rule of thumb works for me too i.e. yolks raw, whites cooked.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I just want to throw in one more vote feeding your child raw eggs! I eat between 3 and 6 daily in an egg, milk, coconut oil, raw honey smoothie. My health has only improved since I began doing this a year ago, of course I eat 85% + raw so maybe I'm not the most objective sample! Anyway, it certainly hasn't done any harm.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Thanks for the tips! I have been collecting them in a jar. Do you know how long they last in the frig once removed from the shell before I would need to cook'em or toss'em? Bill > > This rule of thumb works for me too i.e. yolks raw, whites cooked.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I will definitely try one or two of these recipes for egg smoothies, but I'm sure that Mercola writes about how fragile egg yolks are, and that scrambling eggs is probably the least healthy choice. Something about how the agitation oxidizes the cholesterol? Or is it fragile proteins ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 The guy that got me in to raw eating, Aajonus V. , does not recommend scrambling eggs by themselves but says that it's ok in milk or yogurt for a smoothie. I would imagine this is because it minimizes the yolk's contact with air which is the catalyst for oxidization. Hope that helps.
