Any homoglobin will do
If you menstruate, it's 100% free, just needs to be cleaned a little!
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.
Yes, you can:
If you beat the blood, it turns pink and becomes a stable foam - perfect for baking sponge cakes or meringues.
Of course this site is in German, should have seen that coming
Yeah, everybody is making jokes about cooking with blood in this thread, but they're really just describing German cuisine. I remember eating blood gruel with potatoes and spinach as a kid. Tastes awful.
You made me curious.
As a connoisseur of Blood Sausage, or Blutwurst, or Blunz‘n, I am intrigued to taste this.
You can, actually . They both contain similar protein compositions and both contain anticoagulant albumin.
Oh no
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?
well, I know what I'm eating for breakfast tomorrow
The amount of people who refuted your statement is... concerning and weird.
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.

I mean you can, but your cake won't rise. You should go review a quiche recipe online with "no stars. Made exactly according to directions except substituted 65g of blood for each egg. Terrible recipe, was awful "

Scrambled Blood sounds interesting.
I'm good, thanks... ((Nervous laughter))
It's not that weird. Take black pudding for example
Yeah, but black pudding is weird.
okay then, take morcilla sausage
Honey, what's wrong? You barely touched your bloodpancakes..
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.
Mmmmm deviled blood.
Well that's one way to boost your iron intake.
Ok Vampire
Okay, but I won't. I'll eat crickets and mealworms first.
What risks or other concerns come with eating blood instead of eggs?
Besides sourcing, I guess.
Too much iron in your diet isn't great.
The main risk is that you might like it.
Blood is delicious! I cook with it everyday. Adds great flavor to ground beef
everyday
every day
Now that Nazis are back, the term 'grammar Nazi' probably needs to retire. How do y'all feel about "Alphabet Al-Qaeda"?

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.
Being no expert in the field at all, I'll post links that seem to contradict each other. In some circles, people seem to agree that basically all bodily fluids are either blood or a filtered derivative of blood. Others say this is not the case...

And those that say eggs are chicken periods aren't quite correct, but it definitely relates to their reproductive cycle...
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.
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
