Eggs are all too familiar to us, and one egg a day, less trouble for doctors, has become our daily saying.
This shows that the nutritional value of eggs is high, and eating them is good for health, especially its protein, which is more conducive to human absorption and utilization.
However, with the development of science and technology, there are some "artificial eggs" on the market that are more similar to real eggs, but the composition and nutritional value are also very different from real eggs.
The production technology of artificial eggs is constantly improving, some people have been able to make eggs with fake eggs, therefore, it is particularly important to learn to distinguish artificial eggs from real eggs, this article will introduce 6 effective identification methods to help you buy real eggs when buying.
1. Observe the appearance
Real eggs usually vary in size, have a more regular and rough appearance, have a natural luster on the surface, are more uniform in color, and may have some tiny pores on the eggshell.
Artificial eggs, on the other hand, tend to have a perfect appearance, with almost the same size and shape, a smoother surface, a higher gloss, and no pores, but the color may be too bright or too dull.
Second, feel the touch
The texture of the eggshell of a real egg is clear and delicate, the eggshell is more fragile and relatively easy to break, and in addition, the real egg will have a certain sense of shaking when shaken.
The eggshell texture of artificial eggs is rougher and sometimes even blurred, the eggshell may be harder and not easy to break, and when shaken, it may not shake significantly because the internal filling is more uniform.
3. Smell the eggs
Real eggs have a certain egg flavor, or a light fishy smell, because real eggs produce a certain smell during the incubation process.
Artificial eggs, on the other hand, may not have a noticeable odor or have a chemical odor, while artificial eggs do not have the process of hatching and do not have the smell of real eggs.
4. Observe the egg yolk
When the egg is opened, the yolk and the egg white of the real egg are clearly defined, the yolk is round or oval, and the yolk is more natural in color, showing golden or orange yellow.
The yolk and egg white of artificial eggs are blurred, the yolk is irregularly shaped, and the yolk color may be too bright or too dull, which is unnatural to look at.
5. Taste identification
The taste of real eggs is more delicate, with a certain egg flavor and taste layering, the cooked real eggs taste delicious, the egg white is delicate, the egg yolk has a certain elasticity, and the real eggs are delicious after scrambling, and the egg fragrance is rich.
The taste of artificial eggs after cooking is poor, the egg white is harder, the yolk is softer, the taste is more single, and the layering of real eggs is lacking.
6. Ingredient testing
A more scientific and correct identification method is chemical composition testing, if the above methods can not accurately determine the authenticity of eggs, you can also identify them through chemical testing.
For example, the authenticity of eggs can be judged by detecting the protein, fat and other components in them, generally speaking, the proportion of ingredients in real eggs is relatively stable, while artificial eggs may be abnormal due to different additives.
Write at the end
Although artificial eggs can be eaten, they are not as high as real eggs in terms of nutrition and safety, so as not to cause unnecessary harm to the body due to excessive consumption, and it is recommended that everyone eat more real eggs.
With the above 6 identification methods, you can easily identify real eggs or artificial eggs, and we must also remain vigilant, choose formal channels to buy, and buy eggs in regular supermarkets or farmers' markets to ensure that we are buying real eggs.
