Cordyceps eggs refer to eggs laid by chickens raised in natural environment. This kind of eggs, also called eggs, are real free-range eggs and native eggs. The differences between Cordyceps eggs and common eggs are as follows:

1, different colors:

Cordyceps eggs: The yolk is orange and full. After fresh eggs are opened, the yolk is a natural and regular lump, which is very tight. People will not come apart without stirring. Egg white is thick, clear and low in moisture.

Ordinary eggs: the yolk is orange red. After the egg is opened, gently shake the bowl containing the yolk, which is easy to spread out and irregular. Egg white is not too thick, very clear, with a certain fishy smell and a little fishy smell of feed.

2, the appearance is different:

The eggshell of Cordyceps eggs is not smooth, the color of eggshell is dark, and the color is different from egg to egg. Touch the surface and feel some powder on it. The size of an egg is very small, and the size varies from egg to egg.

The shell of an ordinary egg is very smooth and light in color, and it feels slippery when you touch the surface with your hands. Eggs are bigger than Cordyceps eggs, with uniform size and small color difference, and generally look the same.

3. Different nutritional values:

Cordyceps chicken is also called native chicken, and its eggs are what people call native eggs, because it lays eggs regularly, one egg a day, and some chickens lay eggs every two days. In addition, the food it eats is all natural and does not contain any antibiotics and hormones, so its eggs are extremely nutritious and contain a lot of vitamins, minerals, high protein and fatty acids.

Ordinary eggs are laid by artificially raised chickens. Chickens live in sheds, and professionals feed them with special chicken feed, which is supplemented with bone meal, hormones and other ingredients. This speeds up the growth of chickens and the production of eggs. Compared with native eggs, the nutritional value of this kind of eggs is greatly reduced, far less than native eggs.

Extended data:

Nutritional value of eggs;

An egg contains as much calories as half an apple or half a glass of milk, but it also contains 8% phosphorus, 4% zinc, 4% iron, 12.6% protein, 6% vitamin D, 3% vitamin E, 6% vitamin A, 2% vitamin B and 5% vitamin that people need every day.

Protein: Eggs are rich in high-quality protein. Every100g of eggs contains13g of protein. Protein contained in two eggs is roughly equivalent to protein of 50 grams of fish or lean meat. The digestibility of egg protein is also the highest among milk, pork, beef and rice.

Fat: Every 100g egg contains fat 1 1. 1g, and most of the fat is concentrated in the yolk, and most of them are unsaturated fatty acids. Fat is emulsified and easily absorbed by the human body.

Cholesterol yolk contains more cholesterol, which can be as high as 5 10 mg per 100 g. Therefore, many people, especially the elderly, are cautious about eating eggs, fearing that eating eggs will lead to increased cholesterol and atherosclerosis. Scientists have found that although eggs contain more cholesterol, they are also rich in lecithin.

Therefore, scientists believe that for the elderly with normal cholesterol, eating 2 eggs a day will increase the cholesterol in 100 ml of blood by up to 2 mg and will not cause arteriosclerosis. But you shouldn't eat too much. Eating too much is not conducive to gastrointestinal digestion, causing waste and increasing the burden on liver and kidney.

Amino acid: The content of methionine in eggs is particularly rich, but cereals and beans lack this essential amino acid.

Other micronutrients: There are other important micronutrients in eggs, such as potassium, sodium, magnesium, etc., especially the iron in egg yolk is 7 mg/100 g, but the iron in egg yolk is non-heme iron, which exists in combination with lecithin, and the utilization rate is only 3%; Eggs are rich in phosphorus, but relatively insufficient in calcium. Therefore, milk and eggs complement each other in food nutrition. Eggs are also rich in vitamins a and B.
