During the Spring Festival, there are many preserved eggs in the refrigerator, also called "preserved eggs". Preserved eggs look ugly, but they taste particularly delicious. Preserved eggs are not only delicious, but also have certain medicinal value. They have the functions of clearing away heat and diminishing inflammation, preventing and treating hypertension and protecting blood vessels.
In our northern region, in addition to peanuts, salted duck eggs and preserved eggs are essential on the wine table, and they are the best partners of liquor. Generally, preserved eggs are mostly cold-skinned eggs on the wine table. In addition to the familiar cold preserved eggs, there is also a preserved egg practice, that is, preserved egg lean porridge, which is salty and delicious.
Picking preserved eggs
1, look at the eggshell black spots.
As we all know, preserved eggs are duck eggs soaked with some chemicals. Previously, people soaked preserved eggs with lead, but because the lead content of preserved eggs soaked with lead is too high, the state has explicitly banned it. At present, many manufacturers use copper sulfate or zinc sulfate to soak, but some small workshops still use lead. However, preserved eggs made of lead will have black spots on the surface of the eggshell, so when choosing preserved eggs, we must choose preserved eggs with few or no black spots.
2. Look at the cracks in eggshells
Because preserved eggs are soaked with chemical raw materials, in the process of making, we must ensure that preserved eggs are intact and prevent chemical raw materials from entering preserved eggs. If we buy preserved eggs with cracked eggshells, we must not buy them. Some chemical raw materials and bacteria may have infiltrated into the production process.
3. Listen to the sound
When we buy preserved eggs, I can pick them up and shake them in my ear to see if there is any sound in the belt. If there is a sound, it means that the inside of the preserved egg may not be solidified well, or it has been broken. A good preserved egg is silent when it is shaken.
The practice of preserved eggs
1, cold preserved eggs
The most common way to preserve eggs is to preserve eggs with cold sauce. Because it is simple and fast, it is very popular with everyone. Do you know how to put seasoning in cold preserved eggs to make them taste better? In fact, the more spices you put, the better. On the contrary, some spices not only can't increase fragrance, but also reduce points. So when we make cold-skinned eggs, just put vinegar, soy sauce and sesame oil.

Xiao Xiaowen's Thought
Preserved eggs are delicious, but remember not to eat more, because preserved egg belts are made of chemical raw materials after all. Although eating preserved eggs properly is good for our health, it is not good to eat too much.
