Soil eggs

People are used to dividing eggs into native eggs and foreign eggs. The former is the eggs laid by chickens that are scattered in rural empty fields, move around the woodland every day and grow on natural foods such as live food and weeds, and are smaller. The growth environment is completely different from that of native eggs. The so-called foreign eggs are produced by hens fed by centralized management and centralized ingredients in large chicken farms, and the output is relatively large and larger. Because foreign eggs are the main force in the market at present, we now call them ordinary eggs.

Whether there is a difference in nutrients between native eggs and ordinary eggs has always been the focus of the majority of foodies. Although it is said that native eggs are more nutritious than ordinary eggs, it is an indisputable fact that there is a big difference in price between them. However, according to the test results of nutritionists, there is almost no difference in nutritional components between native eggs and ordinary eggs. Because of the scientific feed formula and balanced nutritional supplements, the eggs produced by ordinary chickens are generally larger and contain no less nutrients (protein, trace elements, etc.) than native eggs. On the contrary, free-range chickens lay small eggs because of unbalanced nutrition, and eggs are easily polluted because of poor growth environment. However, in the free-range state, native chickens eat more green leafy vegetables, and the content of carotenoids and vitamin B2 in egg yolk is high, so the egg yolk is bigger and darker.

It should be pointed out that the quality of different kinds and individuals' eggs will be quite different due to different chicken breeds and growth environment, as well as the influence of many factors such as hen's body weight and day age. This difference does not represent the quality of eggs, and different consumers will have different preferences for egg size. Therefore, it is inconclusive to judge who is superior to ordinary eggs. Eggs produced by growing chickens in different environments may have differences in taste, which depends entirely on everyone's feelings.

Based on expert opinions, the following methods can help distinguish native eggs from high-quality eggs:

1, color: The yolk color of earth eggs is not red, but cauliflower yellow and light orange.

2, the egg yolk is very closely combined, the egg yolk is very thick, and it will not easily break when poked with your fingers or taken by hand.

3, egg white: thick.

4, eggshell: not particularly regular, generally thick, not big.

5, cooked state: the outline between egg yolk and egg white is very clear, the color of egg yolk is uniform, and there is no obvious color stratification. The color of the protein is even, the yolk is closely combined, and the appearance of the protein is smooth and tight. The taste is mellow and has a strong egg fragrance. The taste is delicate.
