Quail Eggs
Mon, Jun 23, 2008
Quail eggs are small speckled pearls that nature gives us. Since ancient times, this delicacy has been prized as a dietary and healing food. While quail eggs are so small (10-12 g), they are packed with many biologically active substances we need to be healthy. They are an abundant source of useful trace elements and vitamins. Their nutritional value is 3-4 times higher than that of chicken eggs. They contain 13% proteins while chicken eggs provide a bit more than 11%. Quail eggs contain 140 μg vitamin B1 compared to 50 μg in chicken eggs, and they contain twice as much vitamins A and B2. And quail eggs provide five times as much iron and potassium as chicken eggs. They also are richer in phosphorus and calcium.
Due to their amazing content, quail eggs are considered as a dietary food. The thing is quail eggs do not have “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and are very rich in “good” (HDL) cholesterol, so even seniors can eat them. Unlike chicken eggs, they do not cause allergy and diathesis. What’s more, they can help fight allergy symptoms due to the ovomucoid protein that is even used in the production of some antiallergic drugs. Regular consumption of quail eggs can help against many diseases.

Hey.. I am afraid to see that lot of other sites are talking differently. as far as i understand cholestrol per gram is much higher in quail eggs than in chicken eggs.!!! The quail eggs may be rich in vitamins etc but it has all the demerits of egg yolk..Chicken eggs have some 3.65 mgs of cholesterol per gram, where quail egg has 8.44 mgs of cholesterol per gram which is almost 2.5 times of that a chicken egg!! almost on par with duck eggs !!
Here is a comparison chart of eggs of various birds.
One Chicken egg has cholesterol of 201mg and 1.6gms saturated fat (55 gm egg)
One Duck egg has cholesterol of 621mg and 2.6gms saturated fat (70 gm egg)
One Quail egg has cholesterol of 76mg and 0.3gms saturated fat (9 gm egg)
One Turkey egg has cholesterol of 747mg and 2.9gms saturated fat (80 gm egg)
One Goose egg has cholesterol of 1226mg and 5.3gms saturated fat (145 gm egg)

I have 12 quail for eggs and just love them, although they are perhaps a bit fiddly trying to cract them. I lov e my quail also, they have real personalities, some talk to me and some don’t. Some just go berserk when I go near the cage. I am really enjoying them.
