With a substitution ratio of 65g of blood for one egg (approx. 58g), or 43g of blood for one egg white (approx. 33g)
How hungry are ya?

Whose blood?
Whose blood, OP?
It’s not that weird. Take black pudding for example
In what sort of recipes? I doubt you can whip blood into stiff peaks for merengue.
For all the people proving me wrong, stop, it sucks knowing this.
While others have pointed out it definitely can it also contains lecithin so it can technically create emulsions like mayonnaise and hollandaise
Eggs contain far more so I don’t know how well this would work but it should? It also contains albumin and globulins but in the white, which is traditionally not used for these. However they can further stabilize the emulsion. But blood also as fibrinogen which is part of what makes it gel when heated as part of coagulation and this would impact texture
Essentially like:
1 part blood 3-4 parts neutral oil Tsp vinegar or lemon juice Tsp Dijon Season to taste
Prepare the same as mayo
You could also boost lecithin content with additional lecithin from soy or sunflowers but that’s kind of against the spirit
I personally am vegan but find the food science of this interesting. I think eating animals is cruel but at the same time I would be interested to know if this actually could work or if you ended up with blood vinaigrette.
Yes, you can:
If you beat the blood, it turns pink and becomes a stable foam - perfect for baking sponge cakes or meringues.
You made me curious.
As a connoisseur of Blood Sausage, or Blutwurst, or Blunz‘n, I am intrigued to taste this.
The amount of people who refuted your statement is… concerning and weird.
You can, actually . They both contain similar protein compositions and both contain anticoagulant albumin.
You’d be wrong. You can whip up blood pancakes!
It says you still need eggs. Can you replace them and make it from blood, beer, flour and blood?
I’m good, thanks… ((Nervous laughter))
Well that’s one way to boost your iron intake.
Scrambled Blood sounds interesting.
Ok Vampire
Or instead there are also some good vegan eggs out there to give a try
If you want something that cooks and bakes like eggs there’s stuff you can by like Just Egg
For baking there’s a million things you can use that are pretty cheap. For instance, Aquafaba is the leftover water from cooking chickpeas or the water in the can if you buy it canned. Acts like egg whites and can be used as a binder for baking
I don’t think I got the measurements rift, I gor hyrdvj hgdcvhj jijgtfdccvvvv:vcvvcvvvvvvv?
Hope you got to the hospital. That looks like a nasty stroke.
Substitute for what, protein?
Milk is just filtered blood. And eggs are just chicken periods…
Very insightful. On an unrelated note, I’m off to the store to get some vegetables.
Elaborate on “milk is just filtered blood”, because the breast is not a kidney. This doesn’t jive with what I’ve learned about physiology. Lactocytes synthesize milk proteins such as lactalbumin and casein, they aren’t filtered out of the bloodstream.
I’d argue eggs aren’t chicken periods either, it’s not their endometrial lining.
Eggs. I thought about changing the title to “You can substitute Eggs with blood” but that also sounded awkward.
Then I realized I’m what’s awkward.
“Substitute X for Y” meaning removing Y and adding X is super weird to me. I always have to use a conscious effort not to interpret that as removing X and adding Y.
fuck that
