🥚 Ever tried to UNCook a boiled egg? 🤔

Sprinkle some sodium borohydride… and watch egg white turn back into slime 🤯

Crazy? Yes. Gross? A bit.😃 But pure chemistry magic 🔬✨

🎬 Can you UNCOOK a boiled EGG? 🥚✨

Proteins unfold & cross-link when you whisk or boil eggs — from fluffy foam to solid white.

🔑 Disulfide bridges lock them.
We cut those bonds with chemistry… and turned egg white back to slime 🤯
