How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Chicken Eggs
- You can touch the surface of the eggshell; if it feels rough and a bit coarse, it is fresh chicken eggs, while a smooth surface indicates that the eggs have been stored for quite some time.
- To check if the eggs are still fresh, gently shake them. If there is no movement, the eggs are fresh; if there is strong movement, the eggs are old.
- For eggs with a hard outer shell, check for a thin layer of powder coating the shell; if present, the eggs are fresh.
How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Sweet Potatoes
- Choose sweet potatoes that are intact, without cracks or chips. When you pick them up, they should feel heavy, firm, and not bruised.
- Be cautious if you see sweet potatoes with black spots or pockmarks, as these are signs of spoilage.
- Select sweet potatoes that are round or elongated, without constrictions or dents. When gently squeezed, they should not be too hard; these tend to have less fiber, more starch, and taste very sweet.
- Avoid choosing very small, long sweet potatoes with constrictions or dents, as they will likely contain more fiber.
In just a moment, chicken egg sweet potato porridge is ready, helping your baby have a more delicious meal. Wishing you success with these 2 recipes!
