The difference between an earth egg and an ordinary egg is mainly in the taste, the earth chicken because of some insects, the concentration of fatty acids in the earth egg will be higher, the aroma is stronger, but its basic nutrients are protein, fat, vitamins and minerals, and the production of "foreign eggs" with farms are not fundamentally different.

The difference between the earth eggs and ordinary eggs:

The earth egg yolks are full, bulging golden yellow, with a higher relative fat content, and the whites are more transparent and viscous than those of the ocean eggs. In terms of color, earth eggs are also not as uniform as the color of ordinary eggs sold in the market; look at the effect of stir-frying after entering the pan. Feed eggs are easily scattered after entering the pan, while the earth eggs are a whole piece, there will be no scattering; taste is also very different, the earth eggs taste more tender, there is no egg fishy flavor.

There are 3 common misconceptions about eggs:

1, Misconceptions

Farmer eggs are more nutritious. The real farm eggs (earth eggs) may be a little more tasty. But tests have shown that farm eggs do not contain more of each nutrient than regular eggs. In addition, the hygienic condition of the egg-laying environment of free-range chickens is not well controlled, and there is a higher possibility that the eggs will be contaminated by feces.

2. Myth 2

Red eggs are more nutritious than white eggs. In the past, people have always thought that red shell eggs are more nutritious, and the price of red shell eggs on the market is also more expensive. Tests have shown that the color of the eggshell is related to the breed of chicken, not to nutrition.

3, Myth three

"Newborn eggs" and "function eggs" more nutritious. Generally speaking, eggs laid by chickens within 130~160 days of their growth period will be called newborn eggs. There is no test evidence to suggest that a newborn egg contains more nutrients than a regular egg. In fact, the first eggs are smaller in size, about 40 grams each, and are not allowed to be sold in foreign countries due to their insufficient weight standard.

Functional eggs are eggs enriched with nutrients such as zinc, iodine, selenium and calcium through feed technology. This sounds great, but in reality, because there are no standards and no good tests, many products are suspected of over-advertising.
