Here’s the real question: Are you hungry? If you’re starving and the only food is a neon-green egg, go for it. Your stomach won’t break.
But if you have other options? Trash it. Seriously. Your taste buds deserve better. Eggs are cheap. Make another batch.
Think of it this way: eating an overcooked egg is like listening to a song on repeat until you hate it. You’ll remember the bad experience, not the good.
The Funky Side of Nutrition
Here’s a quirky truth: overcooking slightly reduces some nutrients. Heat kills vitamin B12 and folate. But it’s not a big deal. You’d need to eat a dozen to notice.
The protein stays intact. So your rubber ball egg is still healthy. Just less tasty. And way farty.
Interesting historical note: ancient Romans used boiled eggs as party tricks. They’d dye them with herbs and tell fortunes. No green rings allowed—bad luck.
