Why Does the Green Color Appear Around the Egg Yolk?
❓Is It Safe to Eat?
Yes! Although hydrogen sulfide is toxic in large doses, the amount formed in boiled eggs is tiny and not harmful. 💡 The egg might look less appetizing, but it’s perfectly safe and nutritious.
🧊 How to Prevent the Green Ring
- Don’t overcook: Boil eggs for 10–12 minutes max
- Use gentle heat: Simmer rather than boil vigorously
- Cool quickly: Transfer to an ice bath immediately after cooking
