How to choose quality eggs.

Choosing quality eggs is an important step to ensure the quality of your food and also respect animal welfare. Here are some tips for choosing quality eggs:

1. Expiry date.

Check the expiration date or production date printed on the egg packaging. Choose eggs that still have an expiration date far enough in advance to ensure freshness.

2. Nutritional content.

High quality eggs usually have thick yolks and dense egg whites. Avoid eggs that have yolks that look pale or egg whites that look runny.

3. Egg size.

Egg size can vary from small to large. Choose an egg size that suits your needs, but note that bigger eggs don't always mean better. Large eggs do not necessarily guarantee better quality than smaller eggs.

4. Air screen.

Good quality eggs usually have little or no air space inside. You can check this by turning the egg around and listening to see if you hear the sound of the air screen moving inside. The smaller the sound, the less air space there is in the egg.

5. Packaging.

Choose eggs whose packaging is intact and not cracked. Cracks in the egg shell can allow bacteria to enter, reducing the freshness and safety of the egg.

6. Labeling.

If you care about the egg production method, pay attention to the label on the egg packaging. Labels such as "cage-free," "organic," or "quail eggs" provide additional information about how the eggs were produced.

7. Skin color.

The color of the egg shell does not affect the nutritional quality or taste of the egg. Eggs can have white, brown, or even blue shells, depending on the breed of chicken that produces them.

8. Additional checks.

If possible, visually inspect the egg to ensure there are no cracks or other damage to the egg shell.

By paying attention to the tips above, you can choose high quality eggs for your cooking needs.
