[Health Knowledge Plus Plan Highlights] - 5 Small Knowledges related to chicken eggs 1. How to choose fresh chicken eggs?
You can use the following three simple methods to determine the freshness of the chicken egg:
1. View the surface of the egg shell: the shell of the fresh egg is rough and is accompanied by a layer of powder like frost, which is bright and shiny; on the contrary, the shell of the egg that has been long-lasting for a long time is brighter and may have some cracks.
2. Lightly sway the egg: After squeezing the eggs with a handheld, it will sway lightly on the ears. Because the egg juice is thick, fresh eggs will not make sounds or sway when swaying; on the contrary, the eggs are less fresh, and will have a clear sound and swaying feeling when swaying.
3. Place under the light line and shine: Place the egg under the light line. If the fresh egg is slightly red, the air chamber is small and the yellow shape of the egg is clear and clear; eggs that are not fresh will find a large air chamber and obvious air holes and stains.
2. How to save the eggs you bought?It is recommended to store fresh chicken eggs in a refrigerated manner to avoid high temperature storage. Also remember to place the calender tip facing upwards so that the air chamber is located above, which can reduce the area where the egg liquid and egg yellow contact the air chamber, helping to extend the shelf life.
3. What does washing eggs mean? Does this mean I don't need to wash it again?Washing eggs refers to the use of modern equipment, firstly inspect and remove broken eggs, cracked eggs, shelled eggs and other bad products through external inspection, then thoroughly clean the dirt on the egg shell, dry, oily balls and check the eggs according to the eggs, and then package them according to the weight of the eggs, and finally transport them for sale.
Although basic choices and cleaning have been made when washing eggs are shipped, based on food safety considerations such as transportation and storage processes, Sean will still recommend that you wash them again with clean water before cooking. But if you don’t want to eat eggs immediately, it is not recommended to put it in water and wash it as soon as you buy them, so as not to enter the water from the pores of the egg shell, which will make the eggs more likely to lose.
4. Don’t eat too much chicken egg, as the sterol will be high! ?First, I would like to tell you a concept: about 70% of the citric sterols in the human body are synthesized by the liver; only 30% are from diet. And under normal circumstances of thanksgiving, the body will adjust the amount of citric sterol produced by itself. Therefore, in addition to people suffering from hyperlipidemia or other cardiovascular diseases, people who need to strictly control their citric sterol intake should pay special attention. Generally, healthy people can take appropriate chicken eggs under the premise of a balanced diet (about 1 to 2 grams per day)!
5. Which one is better, red chicken egg or white chicken egg?I often hear older people say that red chicken eggs are more nutritious than white chicken eggs? In fact, the color of the egg shell will be different because of the different types of egg chickens, and it has no direct connection with the nutritional components of the egg itself; the nutrition of eggs mainly depends on the feed supply and health status of the egg, rather than just looking at the color or size of the egg shell. Therefore, it is more important to choose fresh, clean and good-quality chicken eggs.
