In the dazzling egg market, how to accurately select the real local eggs?Here are some tips and analyses for identifying and purchasing native eggs:
1.Observe the appearance: Native eggs are usually slightly smaller in size than regular eggs and are lighter in color. There may be some irregular spots or subtle bumps on the surface of the eggshell, this is because the living environment of the native chicken is relatively natural, and the eggshell may be contaminated with soil or other impurities during the formation process.
2.Check the thickness of the eggshell: The shell of a native egg is usually thicker than that of a regular egg and has a higher calcium content. The eggshell can be lightly tapped with your fingers, and the earthen egg will make a dull sound, while the regular egg will have a crisp sound.
3.Observe the color and texture of the egg yolk: After opening the egg, the color of the yolk of the real native egg is usually dark orange or red, which is due to the rich natural pigment in the food of the native chicken. In addition, the yolk of native eggs is full in texture and has a higher degree of coagulation, while the yolk of ordinary eggs is lighter in color and relatively thin in texture.
4.Smell: Fresh eggs usually have no odor, only a faint egg aroma. If the eggs have a pungent fishy smell or other odor, they may have been improperly stored or have expired.
5.Check the origin and certification mark: Choose native eggs with a clear origin label and organic certification, this information can increase the authenticity of the purchase. At the same time, you can also ask the seller about the breeding method and feed composition of the chicken to further confirm whether it is a real native egg.
6.Consider and sales channels: Native eggs are relatively expensive to produce, so they are usually higher than regular eggs. Too cheap ** may be a sign of fake eggs. Choosing a regular farmer's market, an organic food store, or buying directly from a reputable farm can reduce the risk of buying fake eggs.
When buying eggs, the above tips can help us distinguish the authenticity, but it should also be noted that there is no one way to 100% guarantee that the eggs you are buying are genuine. Therefore, it is recommended that consumers use a variety of methods and make judgments based on their own taste and needs. At the same time, maintaining an eye on the market and understanding of the product is also an effective way to avoid being deceived by counterfeit products.
