Brilio.net - Eggs are an ideal source of protein for daily consumption. In addition to protein, eggs also contain unsaturated fats and vitamins B6, B12, and D which are important for body health. However, like other natural foods, eggs can rot if not stored properly. The causes can vary, such as poor hygiene, improper storage, or broken shells.
By choosing good eggs and storing them properly, eggs can last up to two months. Storing eggs in the refrigerator usually makes them last longer. If you are still unsure about the freshness of the eggs, there are several ways to check. One common method is to soak the eggs in water. Eggs that sink indicate freshness, while those that float may be rotten. In addition to this method, there are other ways that are also easy to do, as shared by TikTok users.
"How to check whether an egg is rotten or not," said TikTok owner @amanahjayatelur, quoted by BrilioFood on Monday (21/10).
The only tool needed is a flashlight. Direct the light to all sides of the egg and observe the egg shell. If the light from the lamp penetrates the egg shell and the light is bright from the inside of the egg, it means the egg is still fresh and in good condition to be consumed.

Unlike rotten eggs, the light from the flashlight does not spread when the flashlight is brought close to the egg shell. If the egg is rotten, the sign is that the inside looks darker and the light from the flashlight does not penetrate completely inside the egg.
"For example, if it's like this, (the light) doesn't penetrate, whereas if it's normal, it will penetrate," he explained.
