How do I Keep Scrambled Eggs From Turning Green?
Scrambled eggs may turn green if cooked in a cast iron pan, or if you hold them over heat for an extended period time, such as in a serving line or buffet. This is due to a chemical process that occurs between iron and sulfur. The color change may prove unappealing, but it's harmless, according to the Incredible Edible Egg.org. If you don't want your scrambled eggs to turn green, you can take some precautionary measures.
