How to choose eggs:

1, look at the appearance of the eggs

First look at the surface of the eggs have no cracks, cracked eggs are bad. Also observe whether there is white frost on the surface of the egg, because when the egg is fresh, its outer protective film has not been completely lost, so it will form a layer of white frosty material. This protective film prevents air and bacteria from entering the inside of the egg, so eggs with white frost are usually fresher.

2. Smell the eggs

Smelling eggs is a common method of selecting eggs. Fresh eggs usually don't have a noticeable odor, while bad eggs will give off a fishy smell. This is because when eggs go bad, bacteria break down the proteins and produce gases that cause the odor to change. Therefore, if you smell an egg with a fishy odor, it means that it has gone bad and is not recommended for purchase or consumption. Of course, in addition to smelling the odor, the appearance and touch of the egg are also important indicators for selecting eggs.

3, gently shake the egg

Usually, fresh eggs have a thin film (inner membrane) covering the yolk and egg white, which can keep the yolk and egg white relatively stable. As a result, when you gently shake a fresh egg, there is no noticeable wobbling sensation inside.
