Things to note when making preserved egg and fish fillet porridge

Unique flavor, salty and delicious. Do not cook the grass carp meat for too long to prevent the fish fillet from being cooked into pieces. The nutritional content of preserved eggs is quite similar to that of ordinary eggs, and the pickling process has been subjected to the action of strong alkali, so the protein and lipids are decomposed, becoming easier to digest and absorb, and the cholesterol is also reduced. Iron supplements are used for pickling, so the iron content is also higher. However, the vitamin B group and essential amino acids are destroyed.

Do preserved eggs contain lead?

During the traditional pickling process, heavy metals such as lead or copper are often added to the pickling liquid to coagulate the protein. According to the regulations of the Taiwan Department of Health, the lead content of preserved eggs shall not exceed 2ppm and the copper content shall not exceed 8ppm. The agricultural administration also guides the industry to produce high-quality preserved eggs, so that the lead content shall not exceed 0.3ppm and the copper content shall not exceed 5ppm. Therefore, the pickling liquid of qualified manufacturers does not contain heavy metals, or the content is very small.
