Eggs are an excellent food because they contain nutrients beneficial to health, so it has remained an essential component of the human diet since ancient times.
So how can we benefit from eggs well?
Eggs are one of the most popular foods for people and are found in many balanced and healthy diets, as they are a source of protein, vitamins and minerals beneficial to human health.
According to a report by Deutsche Welle, citing the German "T-Online" website, there are many questions and facts about eggs that are preoccupying consumers with health in order to preserve their health.
1- What is the best position for the egg to be placed in when storing it?
It is recommended that you store eggs in the refrigerator with the pointed end pointing down and the fat-end higher, which allows the yolk to remain in the center of the egg.
2- What does the brown point mean in the yolk?
There is no need to worry if you find a brown spot inside the egg, as it does not indicate that it is fertilized, and it is completely safe to eat it. These are only small pieces of tissue, as reported on the German website "Utopia".
Since the egg is taken away from the hen at the right time for sale, no chick can grow even if the egg has already been fertilized.
3- Can eggs be stored in the freezer?
Eggs can be stored as long as they are raw and without a shell (the egg is broken and placed raw in a storage container) for a period of up to 10 months at minus 18 degrees Celsius, and boiled eggs are not suitable for preservation in the freezer.
4- Should eggs be stored in the refrigerator?
For the first 18 days after laying the eggs can be stored outside the refrigerator, during this period the shell is protected from pathogens by the lysozyme enzyme.
However, this protective layer must not be damaged. If the egg is washed or the shell becomes dirty, it will be damaged.
Therefore, it is advised to store eggs in their designated place in the refrigerator.
5- Are brown eggs more beneficial?
The color of the eggs is related to the breed of the animal, so the eggs take on their color for purely genetic reasons.
As for the taste difference, it is not due to the color of the eggs, but rather because of the environment in which the chicken is raised and the fodder it eats.
