- Good salted eggs are those that, when held up to the sunlight, show a clear egg white, a pink color, and the yolk tightly adhering to the shell.
- Choose salted eggs that have no cracks, breaks, or mold on the outside. When shaken gently, you can feel a bit of water inside the egg.
- Avoid buying eggs with cloudy egg whites and thin yolks. These eggs are spoiled, and using them could affect your health.
