An egg's sulfur content is about 50 mg in the white and about 25 mg in the yolk. Adding to an egg's normal smell (which is not particularly smelly!) are a number of volatile constituents, including sulfides such as hydrogen sulfide, dimethyl sulfide and dimethyl trisulfide. Hydogen sulfide is very smelly, it smells of...bad eggs!

What is the gas that makes a terrible smell when you peel hard boiled?

The gas that produces a terrible smell when peeling hard-boiled eggs is primarily hydrogen sulfide. This compound is created when the sulfur in the egg white reacts with hydrogen during cooking, especially if the eggs are overcooked. The smell is often described as rotten eggs and can be particularly strong if the eggs are older. Proper cooking methods can help minimize this odor.

This is a fairly minor point of usage, but if you say hard boiled eggs you could be interpretted as saying that the eggs are both hard and boiled, when what you really mean is that the eggs were hard-boiled, which is to say, boiled for a longer time than they would be if you wanted soft-boiled eggs. So you can use the hyphen.

Do hard boiled eggs cause gas?

Hard-boiled eggs can cause gas in some individuals, primarily due to their protein content and the presence of sulfur compounds. When eggs are digested, these compounds can produce gas as a byproduct, especially in those with sensitivities to certain proteins or those who have difficulty digesting them. Additionally, if eggs are consumed with other gas-producing foods, the likelihood of experiencing gas may increase. However, for most people, hard-boiled eggs are unlikely to cause significant gas.
