Preserved Egg (Lightly Salted, Reduced-Sodium) is a preserved egg commonly used in Chinese and other East Asian cuisines for its distinctive savory, creamy yolk and firm white; the lightly salted reduced-sodium version keeps that traditional flavor while lowering added salt. Nutrition-wise, it is a good source of high-quality protein with about 12.5g of protein per 100g, and it also contributes micronutrients often found in eggs such as selenium, choline and some omega‑3s. While it provides concentrated protein and micronutrients, preserved eggs are a processed product and—even in reduced-sodium varieties—are used most often as a flavoring or garnish rather than a primary vegetable or whole-food staple.
