Let's talk first: Why is it called a native egg?
Native eggs, as the name suggests, refers to the chickens that are grown in the natural environment, and are fed on their own in nature with cereals or allowed to feed independently, and the chickens are not boosted by external factors in the growth process, and no drugs are used in the growth process to promote the eggs laid by the chickens that grow rapidly.
Again: why are they called feed eggs?
Feed eggs are actually ordinary eggs that we eat every day. This is because the chickens that lay this kind of eggs are all specially used to lay eggs by the foreign breeding industry after many years of breeding, and their characteristics are that they produce a large amount of eggs, and they are easy to manage, and can be raised and collected in a centralized manner.
Secondly, this kind of chicken is called feed eggs, or "foreign eggs" because it only uses industrial feed, additives and synthetic feed in the process of laying eggs and feeding, rather than natural foods such as forage and insects.
What is the difference between native eggs and feed eggs?
1. The taste of native eggs is more fragrant
Friends who have eaten native eggs know that they are all eggs, but the taste in the mouth is that native eggs are more fragrant than raised eggs! So the question is, why do native eggs taste fragrant? This is because the main food of free-range chickens is mainly cereals or small worms, resulting in the fat content in the yolk of native eggs is higher than that of ordinary eggs, so it naturally tastes more fragrant!
2. The size of the eggs is uneven, and the size of the eggs is uniform
Seeing this subtitle, I believe many friends are wondering, why the size of the feed eggs is uniform? In fact, the reason is very simple! Because the farms are all breeding laying hens in batches, the size of the same batch of chickens is the same, and the size of the eggs laid naturally is about the same. Free-range chickens, whether large chickens or small chickens, are in a state of random free-range, so when collecting eggs, they are naturally mixed together.
3. The nutrition is roughly the same, but the subtle components are deviated
Many friends think that native eggs are more nutritious than feed eggs, but in fact, this is a misunderstanding, the two are roughly the same in nutrition, only in the subtle nutrients are different. Therefore, from the perspective of nutritional intake, there is no difference between the two, and there is no difference between high and low!
In fact, the main reason is that the eggs are laid by free-range chickens, and the food of chickens is cereals, grass seeds, insects, etc.; and the chickens that produce feed eggs are intensively raised, and the space density is quite large, in order to prevent diseases, antibiotics will be added to the feed, so after the chickens eat such food, the eggs will inevitably carry these substances. Seeing this, some people will ask: how to distinguish which are native eggs and which are feed eggs?
How to distinguish an egg?
1. Let's take a look at the head first
The size of the feed eggs is basically uniform, while the size of the native eggs must be different. Therefore, when buying native eggs, this can be one of the first conditions for selection. If the size is highly consistent, it is certain that it is not a native egg! Some friends will say: What if unscrupulous merchants use different batches of feed eggs to fool us?
2. Re-examination hardness
The calcium content of the eggshell of the native egg is significantly higher than that of the feed egg, so if you are not sure, you can buy a little less home, use the ordinary eggs in the supermarket and the native eggs bought at home, and knock them into the bowl to see if its hardness is higher than that of ordinary eggs. If the hardness is high, it is a native egg, and if the eggshell is thin and brittle, it is a fraud.
3. Finally, look at the egg yolk
If you're still unsure, look at the eggs in the bowl with a white floc on the yolk. If there is a native egg, if there is not, it is a feed egg! Because, with this kind of flocculent, or with an egg eye, are fertilized eggs, and most of the native eggs are fertilized eggs, so through this method, you can also distinguish which are native eggs and which are feed eggs!
