Frequently Asked Questions

How To Tell If Eggs Are In Date?

There are a few simple ways to tell if eggs are fresh, the most simple method is to check the date on the box, but this is not always available, and sometimes they will only provide a suggested period of time.

You can also smell the eggs, you will usually not be able to tell if they are off by sniffing them while they are in their shell, but once you have cracked them into a separate container, smell them, and you should be able to quite easily tell if they are no longer edible.

A test which not everyone knows however is the float test where you should put your egg in a glass of water.

If the egg sinks to the bottom it is fresh, but if it floats or tilts up, this means that it is old.

This is because the air pocket inside an egg will grow the older the egg is which will make it float.

This is not a perfect test however as it tells you just if the egg is old or new, and not if it is safe to eat or not.

What Are The Differences Between Eggshell Colors?

The breed of the chicken will change the color of the eggshell with the most common indicator of the color of the shell being the color of the chicken with white hens much more likely to lay white eggs, and brown eggs being much more likely to be from brown hens.

Other egg colors like blue eggs will be pigmented as the egg is developing, and the color will be on both the outside and the inside of the shell.

The eggshell color does not usually change the actual contents of the egg, and they are all safe to eat.

Healthiest Way To Eat Eggs?

The most healthy way to eat eggs is to add as little extra ingredients to them as possible if you do not want to add calories, this mainly includes boiling or poaching your eggs.

This is because the only thing which is used to cook these eggs is hot water, instead of oil which is used in frying eggs for example.

While these are the healthiest ways to eat egg, they are definitely not the most exciting and even if you prefer to eat eggs this way, you will usually get a much more balanced meal if you add more elements to make the meal more flavorful.

How To Separate Egg White And Yolk?

Lots of recipes will require you to separate egg whites from eggs yolks (see also ‘33 Egg Yolk Recipes For When You Have Leftover Egg Yolks‘), and some recipes will even completely not work if you are not able to do this properly due to the difference in nature between the yolks and whites.

A simple way to separate egg whites and yolks it to use a slotted spoon and to crack the eggs onto it letting gravity separate them.

Another popular method which will require a little more confidence handling eggs is cracking the egg in half over a container and moving the yolk from one half to the other letting the whites fall into the container.

This is the simplest method, but it can be tricky to learn since the yolk can easily split and taint the whites.

Try practicing this method while working with eggs on recipes which do not need them separated.

If you do not like the idea of having to manually split the yolks from the whites, you can purchase egg whites and yolks separately, but this can end up being more expensive and if you are looking for yolks only these can be quite rare.

Best Tasting Eggs?

There are pretty much no differences between different colors of hens eggs, and the best eggs will be based on other factors like how old they are and factors in how the chicken was raised. 

When it comes to wanting to try other species of animals eggs, while these are not common, there are other types of eggs (see also ‘Different Types Of Eggs You Need To Try‘) which are available which can end up tasting quite different from eggs which you are used to.

Most of these other types of animals eggs will be quite difficult to source and for animals like geese, they are only produced at certain times of year.

Are Eggs Safe To Eat Raw?

It is recommended to not eat raw eggs since they have a chance of having salmonella which can be very dangerous if ingested and not cooked out instead.

Some people would only recommend eating pasteurized eggs since they have a much less likely chance of carrying salmonella, however since the symptoms of salmonella can be so severe, it is not worth risking.

How Nutritious Are Eggs?

Eggs are one of the most easily accessible super nutritious foods with 1 egg containing around 6 grams of protein as well as good fats and vitamins which are very important for proper development and staying healthy.

Make sure to beware of certain diet companies trying to convince you that certain foods like eggs are unhealthy in your diet, unless of course you have an allergy.
