Eggs are an ingredient that every household has, which is inexpensive, nutritious, very easy to digest, and suitable for all agesThere are also many ways to make scrambled eggs, steamed eggs, marinated eggs, fried eggs, etc., all of which are very delicious. And eggs are cheap, about 5 yuan a catty, and everyone can afford to eat them for 5 cents.

I often go to buy eggs, and we find that there are no eggs, which are mainly divided into two types, one is a red-shell egg, and the other is a white-shell egg, and the white-shell egg is a few cents more expensive than the red-shell egg. What is the difference between red-shell eggs and white-shell eggs?Isn't the more expensive the eggs, the better?

Today I will tell you about the skills of choosing eggs, keep in mind that 3 do not buy, easy to pick good eggs, simple and trouble-free.

Buy eggs, choose red shell eggs or white shell eggs?

First of all, let's take a look at the difference between red-shell eggs and white-shell eggs. Let's listen to the explanation given to us by the merchant first:

White-shell eggs are often called firewood eggs, native eggs, popularly speaking, they are eggs laid by free-range chickens, farm chickens grow in the natural environment of rural areas, eat grass seeds, insects, cereals, etc. every day, natural green, so the nutrition of eggs is higher. Red shell eggs are eggs laid by artificially bred chickens, and the raised chickens eat feed every day, and their nutritional value is not as good as that of white shell eggs.

Many people believe in this set of rhetoric of merchants, so it is natural that white-shell eggs are sold more expensive.

In fact, consumers think so, and it is natural that white eggs are more expensive. Is that really the case?Don't be fooled by merchants anymore, let's take a look at the "truth" with me.

The color of the egg.

The color of the egg is not directly related to the food eaten by the chicken, but only related to the breed of the chicken, for example, the egg laid by the chicken is the white egg, which is a typical chicken breed for eggs, commonly known as foreign chicken. The eggs laid by the wood chicken (grass chicken) are red-shelled eggs.

Nutrition of eggs.

Are white-shell eggs really more nutritious than red-shell eggs?Through research comparison, it was found that the protein and vitamins of white-shell eggs were slightly higher than those of red-shell eggsThe fat and cholesterol of red-shell eggs are slightly higher than those of white-shell eggsIn addition, the other nutrients are almost equal. And this subtle difference is also related to the breed of chicken.

Therefore, white-shell eggs are sold expensive because they are more nutritious, which is basically certain to fool people. Whether it is a white-shell egg or a red-shell egg, the nutrition is the same.

Knowing the difference between white-shell eggs and red-shell eggs, what are the 3 types of eggs that can't be bought?

The first type is an egg with a crack in the shell.

The shell of the egg is very hard, which can protect the egg from bacteria and microorganisms from the outside. If there is a crack in the eggshell, it means that it has been bumped, so that external bacteria and microorganisms can easily enter the inside of the egg, causing the egg to deteriorate. Intact eggs are fine for 45 days at room temperature, but they may deteriorate if they are cracked for a week.

The second type is eggs with dirty shells.

Many people believe that the dirtier the eggshell, the fresher the egg, especially if there is chicken manure and chicken manure on it, it is a real egg at a glance. In fact, the eggs are not fresh and have no direct relationship with the eggshell. The eggshell is dirty, indicating that the environment of the feedlot is relatively poor. At the same time, chicken manure contains a variety of bacteria such as salmonella and E. coli, which can easily be infected, so don't buy dirty eggs.

Some people think dirty eggs are fresh, buy them and wash them before storing them, and don't do it again in the future. After the eggs are washed, a layer of natural protective film on the surface is washed off, and bacteria and vitamins are easy to invade, and the eggs will go bad.

The third type is an egg that makes a sound when it shakes up.

Fresh eggs, the egg whites are very viscous, and there is no sound when shaken. If there is a sound when shaken, it means that the egg has been left for too long, the egg white has become thinner, and such an egg is not fresh.
