Can you tell a fake egg by eating it

Nowadays, food safety issues are becoming more and more prominent, and people's health risks are also increasing. Take eggs for example. We often see some fake eggs. Once these problematic foods are ingested, they will bring some hidden dangers to human health and lead to nutritional deficiencies. The consequences are still very serious over time. Therefore, it is necessary to correctly identify them. So, can fake eggs be eaten?

The egg white and egg yolk in fake eggs are mainly made of sodium alginate purified from kelp, and other ingredients such as alum and gelatin are also added. In particular, the egg yolk also has some color added, namely lemon yellow. Lemon yellow can cause excitatory effects on the human nervous system, and children will suffer from hyperactivity in particular after eating it.

Generally speaking, the appearance of real eggs is dirtier, while fake ones are of course very clean; the shells of real eggs are rougher, while those of fake ones are smoother; there is a small bubble on the big end of a real egg, but there is no such thing on a "problem egg". The shell of a fake egg is brighter than that of a real egg. Of course, it’s not easy to compare, but you can feel that the fake one has better reflectivity.

When looking at it against the light, real eggs are not as transparent as fake eggs. Real eggs have a muddier and fuzzier feel. Real eggs will smell fishy, ​​which is relatively easy to identify but not necessarily accurate. Fake eggs have water inside, so they make louder noises when shaken, and there's a shaking feeling inside, whereas fresh, real eggs don't have that feeling. Even if it is a real egg, if there is a feeling of shaking inside it, it is bad. When preparing to hatch chicks at home, we will check it carefully to see if there is any shaking.

Real eggs have a higher viscosity, so you can beat the eggs in a bowl and touch and squeeze them with your hands. The egg white will feel thinner and quickly slide down between your fingers when you pour it on your hands. The egg yolk will not stick to your hands at all but flow freely. This is too fake. Some are even faker. The yolk of fake eggs can be pinched and lifted up by hand. Since the yolk of a fake egg is also solidified by calcium chloride water, if you cut the yolk and leave it for a while, the egg white and yolk will melt together, which means it is a fake egg. The real one will not. When you cook a poached egg, if the yolk and egg white separate in the pan, then it is a fake egg.

Through the above introduction, everyone is clear about whether you can tell fake eggs. There are many ways to distinguish real eggs from fake ones, and you need to master them comprehensively. You must also be responsible for your own health. You must ensure that your diet is nutritionally diversified and ensure that the human body has adequate nutrition, so as to improve your health and effectively prevent the occurrence of some diseases.
