How to identify artificial eggs, these aspects will tell you

In everyone's impression, eggs are laid by hens and cannot be artificially produced. But the fact is that artificial eggs have appeared, and the shells of fake eggs are rougher and slightly thinner than those of real eggs. In addition, real eggs have a fishy smell, while the main components of fake eggs are resin, starch, coagulants, pigments and other chemical substances. They have no fishy smell, and the yolk and egg white are very light.

1. Look from the eggshell

The shell of a fake egg is rougher than that of a real egg, and the shell of a fake egg is slightly thinner than that of a real egg. However, some people say that the shells of artificial eggs are particularly smooth.

Real eggs are laid by low-level animals, chickens. During the production process, there may be more or less liquid attached to the eggs, which may be blood, other white stuff, or even a little chicken feces. These signs can preliminarily indicate that the source of the eggs is chicken butts and that they are real eggs. Fake eggs are made by high-level people in a harmonious society and generally will not have chicken blood or chicken feces on them. Very clean. And they are about the same size.

In addition, although the main components of the shells of real eggs and fake eggs are calcium carbonate, because the shells of fake eggs also contain a small amount of gypsum, they are brighter than the shells of real eggs, but it is not very obvious and can only be seen through careful observation.

But since he is so capable, understanding science and chemistry, and can make fake eggs, it is no problem for him to smear some poop on the fake eggs. So this one makes sense, but it cannot be used as a standard.

2. From the taste of raw eggs

Real eggs have a fishy smell, while fake eggs are mainly composed of resin, starch, coagulants, pigments and other chemical substances. They have no fishy smell, and the yolk and egg white are very light. If it is a general, less hygienic vegetable market (such as Songzhaoqiao Market), you can look for a cracked egg on site, put it close to your nose and smell it to see if there is any fishy smell. If you can't smell it, see if there are any flies (flies are not uncommon in vegetable markets) biting it? If there are flies busy in other places but not biting the egg with a crack, it is probably a fake egg. It may not be possible to break the eggs and smell them closely at the scene, but it is not too late to break them and smell them closely when you get home. If there is no distinct smell, it may be a fake egg.

3. Look at the color and shape of the broken eggs

The main ingredients of fake eggs are resin, starch, coagulant, edible calcium chloride, water, pigments and other chemicals. The yolk is made of pigments and resin, the egg white is not sticky, and the yolk is light in color. After being broken, it quickly mixes with the egg white. Or, beat the fake egg in a bowl, pierce the yolk, and leave it for a while. The egg white and yolk will dissolve together. This is because the yolk and egg white are made of the same raw materials. The only difference is that pigments are added to the yolk. It also smells like nothing, or has a faint chemical smell that falls apart when put into the pot. Eggs like this are most likely fake eggs.

4. Judging from the taste after frying

The chemical composition of fake eggs determines that the cooked eggs do not have the aroma of real eggs. I like to eat scrambled eggs with chopped green onions. Generally speaking, scrambled eggs can bring out the flavor of eggs better than boiled eggs or those made into soup. So if you want to know whether the eggs are real or not, it’s best to fry one and try it.
