Eggs play an important role in our lives, they can replenish our bodies with the protein and other nutrients we need, so every household buys eggs every once in a while.
However, among the dazzling egg varieties on the market, how to choose fresh, nutritious and safe eggs has become a concern for many consumers.
Many people have a fixed habit: pick eggs of uniform size, some people think that large eggs are more nutritious, some people think that small eggs are more delicate, so, what is the difference in the size of eggs?
Large eggs are generally considered to contain more protein and nutrients and are considered more nutritious, but there is no difference in nutritional value between large and small eggs.
It's just that because of the different sizes, if you want to consume a certain amount of protein today, you may only need to eat one of the larger eggs, but you may need to eat two of the smaller eggs.
For people with different uses, it may be necessary to pick eggs of different sizes as well.
Large eggs are easier to separate from egg whites and yolks when cooking, and are suitable for making cakes, tarts, and other foods that require a lot of egg whites, in contrast, small eggs are considered to have a more delicate taste and a fuller yolk, and small eggs are usually used to cook and make traditional delicacies such as salted eggs and salted duck eggs.
Since small eggs have a relatively higher ratio of yolk to egg white, it is easier to form a thick mayonnaise when cooking, and the taste is smoother and more delicateAdditionally, some people believe that small eggs are easier to cook and are better suited for making pickled foods.
In fact, whether it is a large egg or a small egg, their nutritional value and taste are affected by factors such as chicken breed, feeding environment, and feed. Therefore, the size of the egg is not the only measure of egg quality.
When buying eggs, consumers should pay attention to the ** of the eggs, the production environment and the credibility of the producer, not just the size.
When we buy eggs, we can first observe the appearance of eggs, fresh eggs have very obvious characteristics.
Fresh eggs are smooth and uniform in color, and when picking, you should choose eggs with no spots and cracks, and if you find chicken poop or dirt on some eggs, you can also pick these eggs, which will generally be very fresh.
The second method is to tell if the eggs are fresh by shaking them
When selling eggs, pick up an egg and shake it in your ear, fresh eggs will not hear the sound of egg liquid flowing, if you can hear the sound of flowing eggs more obviously, then the eggs in this house must have been put for a long time, not fresh at all.
If you still have eggs at home, you may wish to open one and look at the yolk and white of the egg to determine the freshness of the egg.
Fresh egg yolk is bright orange in color, the protein is firm, transparent, elastic, and there is no liquid oozing, if the egg yolk is lighter in color and the protein is thinner, it means that the egg is not very fresh.
In addition to ordinary eggs, there is also a special egg variety called "native eggs", so how is the nutritional value of native eggs different from ordinary eggs?
There is a certain difference in nutrients between native eggs and ordinary eggs, and compared with ordinary eggs, native eggs are richer in nutrients.
Native eggs have a higher protein content and lower fat content, making them more suitable for people who pursue a high-protein, low-fat diet.
In addition, the vitamin and mineral content of native eggs is also richer than that of ordinary eggs, such as vitamin A, vitamin E, selenium, etc., so from a nutritional point of view, native eggs are more beneficial to health.
Native eggs are different from ordinary eggs in the production environment and production methods, ordinary eggs generally come from large-scale chicken farms, chickens are intensively raised, the environment is relatively limited, and the use of feed and growth hormone may have a certain impact on the quality of eggs.
The native eggs come from free-range chickens, which grow in a natural environment, and the feeding method is more natural, without the use of hormones and antibiotics, so the native eggs are more natural and healthy.
Native eggs are also different from ordinary eggs in taste and flavor, due to the different ways of raising and eating habits of native chickens, the yolk of native eggs is more colorful, and can not smell the fishy smell of ordinary eggs, and the scrambled eggs are much more yellow than ordinary eggs, and the taste is more delicate.In order to cater to the shopping psychology of consumers, there is now a kind of sterile egg on the market, which can be eaten directly raw, some people will directly eat this sterile egg with rice, and people who eat sukiyaki will directly use the sterile egg as a dipping sauce.
Compared with ordinary eggs and sterile eggs, native eggs have certain differences in nutritional value, production environment and flavorWhen buying eggs, consumers can choose egg varieties that suit them according to their needs and tastes to meet different dietary needs.
In fact, the size of the egg does not represent the quality of the egg, the size is only related to the breed of the chicken, the way of feeding and other factors, the quality of the egg mainly depends on the breeding environment and feed quality of the chicken.
In order to cater to the psychology of consumers, some businesses will intentionally or unintentionally manipulate eggs, and some even add harmful substances to the processing.
When consumers buy eggs, they should not only look at the size, but also pay more attention to the quality of the eggs, the production environment and the reputation of the producer.
The preservation and cooking methods of eggs also directly affect the taste and nutritional value of eggs, consumers should choose formal channels to buy eggs when buying them, avoid buying unknown eggs, and pay attention to hygiene and food safety when preserving and cooking.
When buying eggs, you should also consult farmers to see if the eggs you buy are consistent with the market, and remember not to buy eggs below the market for the sake of cheapness.
After reading the above, we should now clearly know that the selection of eggs should not only look at the size, but also pay attention to the quality and safety of eggs.
Some farmers' reminders make us realize the importance of buying food, and also remind us to keep our eyes open when buying food, and not to blindly follow the trend, so as not to be deceived.
Therefore, when we are buying eggs, we might as well pay more attention to the best and production environment of eggs, rather than just looking at the size, the words of farmers remind us not to "buy blindly", but to consume rationallyPay attention to food safety and protect the health of yourself and your family.
