Eggs are one of the ingredients that commonly appear in everyone's home, and one of the sources of protein. Traces of eggs can be found in many dishes! Whether it's egg soup, scrambled eggs, or when making pastries, eggs are needed to make them.

We eat egg products almost every day, so how do we determine whether this egg is a fresh egg or a stale egg?

As long as you remember the following 3 principles, you will not go wrong!


The first method is to check whether the eggshells are cracked, and whether the thickness of the shell is even.

Second, the egg surface should be rough and not shiny.

Third, if you put eggs in water, they can sink completely to the bottom of the water.


Here is one thing we should pay attention to: Eggs do not need to be cleaned after they are purchased, because there is a protective film on the outside of the eggshell that we cannot see with the naked eyes. If cleaned, the eggs will be more easily contaminated. However, it is recommended to wash the surface of eggs before eating.


PhytoFairy also wants to emphasize that the color of the eggshell is related to the type of chicken, not the nutritional content.

The color of the egg yolk ranges from light yellow to dark orange, which is also related to the difference in the breed of chickens and feed, so when purchasing, you do not need to make choices from the color of the egg, but to choose clean and no cracked eggs!
