Why experienced housewives are in no hurry to buy large eggs: many do not know this

It turns out that not all housewives consider the size of chicken eggs as an indicator of quality; moreover, some do not even buy large eggs, and it is not at all a matter of cost.

Many people don’t even know about this, although every cook, and even an inveterate bachelor, should know about this.

A distraction?

1. In fact, when buying eggs, you need to pay attention not to the size, but to the production date.

The trick is that even in one package there may be eggs with different production dates.

It is important to remember that the shelf life is limited - only 25 days. Also, you should be wary of worn markings with the production date of the eggs.

2. Also, don't believe the stories that eggs with bright yolks are a sign of quality. If the yolk in home eggs is yellow because the hens are fed natural products, then unscrupulous manufacturers may mix special coloring additives into the feed.

3. You shouldn’t believe that good eggs are necessarily large.

The size of eggs largely depends on the age of the laying hen. And small eggs laid by young hens are considered truly healthy. The reason is that harmful chemical additives have not yet accumulated in their bodies, making eggs less healthy.
