Onsen Tamago

Onsen Tamago is a simple, widely used ingredient in many cuisines — eaten on its own, in salads, sandwiches, or as breakfast — known for its firm white and creamy yolk when hard-boiled. It’s a convenient cooked whole egg that’s often enjoyed cold or warm and appears in dishes from Western to East Asian cuisines. Nutritionally, Onsen Tamago is a concentrated source of high-quality protein, providing about 13g of protein per 100 g, and also supplies important nutrients such as choline, selenium and vitamin B12. It’s low in carbohydrates and is often used where a portable, satisfying protein boost is desired. Because it delivers complete amino acids and is filling, Onsen Tamago is useful for appetite control and muscle maintenance; it also contributes several micronutrients not commonly found in plant foods. For lower fat or cholesterol goals, using just the egg white or choosing a plant-based soy alternative can be reasonable swaps.Read more
