Today, with the development of science and technology, many food products are also constantly being updated. Eggs, as a common food in daily life, are naturally no exception. With the advent of artificial eggs, people began to wonder: the cost of artificial eggs is only 1 cent, so does it mean that we can use it to replace real eggs and achieve the best benefits? And how do you tell the difference between artificial eggs and real eggs? On this issue, I would like to share some of my views.
First, let's understand the definition and characteristics of artificial eggs. Artificial eggs, also known as "powdered eggs", are a kind of simulated eggs made of plant ingredients such as beans and corn as the main raw materials through chemical technology.
Although it is similar to real eggs in terms of appearance, taste, etc., its nutritional value is far from the same. Artificial eggs contain vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that are far lower than real eggs, and long-term consumption may have an impact on human health.
So, how do we tell the difference between artificial eggs and real eggs? Here are some suggestions that may be useful:
1.Observe the appearance. The shell of artificial eggs is usually rough and does not have the smoothness of real eggs. Also, artificial eggs are relatively light in color, showing a pale yellow or pale green color.
2.Shake the eggs. Real eggs make a slight shaking sound when shaken, while artificial eggs do not.
3.Smell the smell. The flavor of real eggs is usually stronger, with a faint fishy smell. Artificial eggs, on the other hand, do not have a noticeable odor.
4.Observe after cooking. When cooked, the yolk of an artificial egg will often appear grey or brown, and the line between the yolk and the egg white will be blurred. The yolk of a real egg will be yellow or orange, and the line between the yolk and the egg white is clear.
In addition to artificial eggs, we also need to pay attention to a type of egg known as a "sugar egg". The yolk of this egg is half-cooked and tender. However, there are certain food safety hazards in the production process of this kind of egg, because the yolk is easily contaminated by bacteria in a half-cooked state, which may cause harm to human health after eating. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid consuming sweetened eggs as much as possible.
