How to choose fresh, delicious chicken eggs
- Eggshell: Fresh eggs will have a thin white powdery layer on the outside, and when touched, it feels rough or heavy. If the eggshell is smooth, shiny, or has cracks, it means the eggs have been stored for a long time and are not fresh.
- Candling: You can candle chicken eggs with a flashlight or by rolling up a piece of newspaper and shining it under sunlight. If you see the air cell of the egg is still small, the yolk round and unmoving, and the white is clear with a light orange or pink color, that indicates a fresh egg. In the case of old eggs, they will have a reddish color with many moving striations and a large air cell space.
- Shake lightly: Hold the egg up to your ear and shake it gently; if you hear a noise, it’s an old egg that has been stored for a long time. If you don’t hear anything but feel the egg moving strongly, it is a spoiled egg, possibly from a hen that is still brooding,…
- If possible, you should use a 10% salt solution to drop the egg into. If the egg sinks to the bottom, it is freshly laid that day. If the egg floats to the surface, it has been stored for more than 5 days.
