About Quail Egg

Small but nutrient-dense eggs; good for children and the elderly.

Health Benefits of Quail Egg

Small and easy; high nutrient density

A quail egg weighs only 10-15g, about a fifth of a chicken egg - one bite per egg. By equal weight it has similar protein (12.8g/100g) to chicken eggs while being higher in vitamin B2 and iron, among the top eggs for nutrient density.

Rich in phospholipids

The yolk is relatively rich in phospholipids, especially cephalin and lecithin - key building blocks of nerve membranes that help brain development and memory. Often recommended for children's food and elderly supplements.

Bouncy white, silky yolk; 5-8 a day ≈ 80-128 kcal

Quail eggs can be boiled and eaten plain, or used in hotpot, stews, salads and spiced pickling. Cooked, the white is bouncy and the yolk fine; well accepted by kids. Aim for 5-8 a day (≈1-1.5 chicken eggs) with vegetables.
