Soft boiled eggs and avidin

[unruhschuh]

Hi Jordan,

what's your take on soft boiled or poached eggs? Are they save to eat in large quantities with respect to avidin? The reason I'm asking is that I much prefer the taste of soft yolk compared to hard boiled yolk. I usually cook them for 5 minutes.

Only raw egg whites in massive quantities taken every single day tend to cause an issue. Biotin deficiency is exceedingly rare. I wouldn't worry about it.
