One of my favorite high protein snacks, quail eggs. I hard boil them, shell them, then marinate them with fresh lime juice, garlic, spicy Sri Lankan cracked black pepper, salt, fresh basil leaves and a bit of olive oil. Marinate minimum 24 hours. Delicious right from the bowl in the fridge. Quail eggs are packed with vitamins and minerals. Even with their small size, their nutritional value is three to four times greater than chicken eggs. Quail eggs contain 13 percent proteins compared to 11 percent in chicken eggs. Quail eggs also contain 140 percent of vitamin B1 compared to 50 percent in chicken eggs. In addition, quail eggs provide five times as much iron and potassium. Unlike chicken eggs, quail eggs have not been know to cause allergies. Actually they help fight allergy symptoms due to the ovomucoid protein they contain. Amazing little packets of food !
