In the previous article, I shared with you the abundant source of nutrients in eggs, which are suitable for all ages. Now I will give you some tips to choose the fresh eggs, quality assurance.
1. Look at the eggshell
We can visually look at the shape, color, transparency of the eggshell. If you look closely you will see fresh eggs of good quality have intact skin, not shiny on which a layer of white powder like frost, bright colors. If the shell is too smooth, bright, or feel the crack is a long egg in the drive, poor quality. When touching the shell eggs, fresh eggs often give you the feeling of a rough and heavy armor.
However, the processed chicken eggs and industrial packaging will no longer have this layer of chalk. Low-quality chickens may show cracks in the shell, dents, or streaks, egg whites spilling out, or visible spots on the skin that resemble a damped corner of the wall.
In addition, good quality eggs have a rough eggshell, if the light island in the hand does not feel that the yolk and white inside of the long and slipped up and down, back and forth like the old egg case
Another tip, light up the eggs
Stack eggs through a light bulb or in the sunlight, or use a notebook or newspaper roll up if the air chamber of the egg is small, egg yolk round, in the middle of not moving, Red and pink roses are fresh eggs, new.
If the egg white is red with many lines, the line around the moving yolk and the space of the large air chamber, then that egg is old. It's a little picky, but we need to look and compare. Choose to buy fresh eggs.
2. Shake gently
Hold the egg between two index fingers near the ear and slightly shake it, if there is a poor egg sound, for a long time. Poor quality eggs, knocking eggs with cracked or hollow sound, shaking slightly, feel inside motion or have a slight cry. The older the egg, the more liquid it feels like to move in it. Also see the eggs move strong egg is broken, chicken eggs are bad. Good quality eggplant knocks on each other with a sharp sound, shake slightly no cry.
3. Smell
Squeeze the heat on the eggshell, then use the nose to smell the air. Good quality fresh eggs smell smelly lime, fresh eggs are poor quality will smell mild mold. If the egg is broken, the smell of mold, sour, rot.
4. Water or salt water diluted
When choosing an egg, if possible, use 10% saline solution or a full bowl of water to release eggs, if the eggs sink to the bottom of the water that is the new egg laying day. If the eggs are floating on the water, they will lay eggs for more than 5 days. and, if the egg is shaking, the baby will not cry, but if the baby is born long cry
How to distinguish between old and fake eggs, bleached eggs
- Distinguishing between fake eggs: Smell the egg to smell the natural smell is real eggs if the smell strange (sour, foul, chemical) it is fake eggs, old ...
- Distinguishing White Eggs: White eggs are whitish, the shaggy shell looks like white dust, not glossy and too clean. Eggs are naturally white and may have stains on the skin. To sell eggs at higher prices, many sellers can use acetic acid (found in lemons, vinegar) to bleach industrial chicken eggs to breed with eggs. But just watch and observe a bit you will easily recognize:
Also, when choosing to buy eggs you should choose eggs small and small. Because thick, medium-sized eggs are usually fresher than thin and large fruits. The cause is that the crust is thick as a layer of "armor" that protects the egg, preventing the attack of bacteria. Do not choose the eggs are too shiny smooth, feel like cracks because they are usually preserved quite long before selling.
How to preserve eggs home:
After the purchase, please quickly put eggs in the refrigerator. Put eggs in a carton or soft plastic containers because eggs easily absorb the smell of the refrigerator. Fresh eggs can be frozen for about 5 weeks after being packaged. If the packaging of the egg box does not specify the date of packing, it may be kept cold for about 3 weeks from the date of purchase.
But the best thing to do is to buy the right amount of food, not long-lasting in the fridge so you can get the most nutritious and nutritious eggs. Wish you the best fresh eggs.
