Eggs are very useful for the body, but when they are consumed in large quantities and without heat treatment, eggs become harmful. Eggs are used in a large number of dishes - it's just scrambled eggs or omelet, salads, as well as baked goods, etc.
How to choose fresh eggs
When choosing eggs, look at their appearance. Fresh eggs of good quality are free from cracks, dirt and misshapen shells.
Each chicken egg is labeled with the category of eggs and the shelf life.
If the letter "D" is indicated, this means that the egg is dietary and must be stored for no more than seven days.
Canteen ("C") can be used within 30 days from the date of production.
Checking eggs for freshness at home
For example:you came from a long business trip or vacation and do not remember when you bought the eggs, how old they were, and there is no mark on the egg. What to do???
You can check the freshness and age of the eggs with water by dipping the egg into a glass of cold water.
Observe how the egg behaves:
1. If it sinks to the bottom and lies on its side, then the egg is very fresh.
2. If the egg sinks to the bottom, but stands on the tip (toe), and not on its side, then its age is within 1 to 2 weeks.
3. If an egg floats in water or one of its ends peeps out a little on the surface of the water, then its age is 2-3 weeks.
4. If the egg floats sideways on the surface of the water, then it is spoiled. Eating such an egg is dangerous.
Be sure to do this test with every egg before eating. Use only high quality eggs.
Also, break the egg into a separate container before eating and make sure it is fresh. The yolk should be firm, and the protein should be firm, like jelly.
Where to store eggs
Eggs are best kept in the refrigerator for no more than a month. Lay the egg down with the sharp end down so that it can "breathe" as there is an air gap at the blunt end.
Eggs need to be washed only before use, so that their protective layer is preserved longer, and the shelf life.
