How to choose fresh and delicious eggs
- Choose eggs with thick shells, not too large; they are usually fresher than those with thin, large shells.
- If you notice that the eggshell is too smooth and shiny, those are eggs that have been stored for a long time, which may negatively affect health.
- For eggs with hard outer shells, check if there is a thin powdery layer surrounding the shell; if so, the eggs are fresh.
- To check if the eggs are fresh, shake them gently; if there is no movement, the eggs are fresh, and if there is strong movement, the eggs are old.
