In the past, when the family did not feed the chickens, when buying eggs, my mother-in-law also thought that the more expensive eggs were delicious, but my husband said that as long as the eggs laid by the chickens, the nutrition is the same, except that the eggs are more fragrant and the color is the same, and there is no difference between the others. I don't know if he's right, until now my mother-in-law thinks that there is a reason why expensive eggs are expensive.
But recently eggs are really cheap, I have only 3 pounds in this supermarket, usually this kind of ordinary eggs are generally about 5 pieces, when the eggs are expensive, a box of 15 is almost 30.
So I wondered, why are they all eggs laid by chickens, and ordinary eggs are many times more expensive than native eggs? Are the breeds of chickens different? Or are the things that chickens eat different? So the eggs laid are different? Look at what netizens say!
▶▶ First of all, what this netizen said is that there are very few native eggs on the market, and due to the low egg production rate of free-range eggs, they are only enough for their own food, so they are few. This is not absolute, for example, in the mountains, in the woods, if you feed more chickens, won't the chickens produce more eggs?
When it comes to hormones, pesticide residues, etc., I will talk about the chickens fed by my mother-in-law, especially in spring, which are the most prone to disease. When I was sick, my mother-in-law would feed some oxytetracycline or something, but I don't know exactly what to feed. However, one thing is that if the chickens in the chicken coop and the chicken coop are not disinfected frequently, so many chickens gather together, and it is easy to have chicken plague.
It seems that these netizens are concerned about residues, plus eggs are basically eaten every day, if you often eat residual eggs, it will definitely not be good, so the question is, whether to choose expensive or cheap. But there is one point, generally in the spring, eggs will be cheap, my mother-in-law said that the spring weather is warm, the egg production rate will increase, more eggs, isn't it cheap?
This netizen's mother's free-range chickens eat rich food, grass seeds, insects, large space for chickens to move, good air to breathe, and sun every day, these are all chickens that are locked in the chicken coop, which cannot be compared. It is true that the activities in nature are definitely different, and it is estimated that these free-range chickens are majestic when they walk.
These two netizens are concerned about the color of the egg yolk. I also have a deep understanding of this, the eggs fed by the mother-in-law chickens, the yolk color is generally darker than the yolk of ordinary eggs, but there are few orange-red egg yolks, to be honest, I am also very strange to see the orange-red egg yolk, they all say that the food that chickens eat is different, and the color of the egg yolk is not the same, but I rarely see such a bright orange-red color. However, there is one point, the color of scrambled eggs is indeed more golden than ordinary eggs, and the taste is more fragrant.
The method of selecting native eggs shared by these two netizens is very good. I used to think that the selection of eggs should look at the color of the egg yolk, read what they said, and learned a trick, look at the egg white can also be distinguished, the egg white is tough, like jelly, not easy to stir, ordinary egg egg white is relatively thin, a little stirring will be scattered.
It is also said that the eggs laid by free-range chickens are unhygienic. What can I say, since it is free-range, the chicken must run wherever it wants, and it can't follow it every day. However, the cleaner ones around are definitely better.
This netizen said, the fishy smell of local eggs is small, why don't I feel this way, why do I think that whether it is a native egg or an ordinary egg, the fishy smell is the same? Because I feed chickens, they all eat grass and insect food, which is considered a serious local egg, and the fishy smell is also very strong.
Do you think that how to choose eggs is better?
