Maybe ham, but no green eggs

Published April 19. 2019 11:26AM

Why do Boiled Eggs Turn Green?

The discoloration that sometimes forms around the yolk of hard-boiled eggs is the result of a chemical reaction between sulfur in the whites and iron in the yolks. It is harmless. It occurs when eggs have been cooked for too long or at too high a temperature.

Cooking eggs in hot, not boiling, water, and then cooling immediately – minimizes this.
