Quail eggs can rightfully be called a pantry of useful and nutritious substances; they are a valuable dietary product that helps to restore the immune balance. Compared to chicken eggs, one gram of quail eggs contains much more vitamins and minerals. However, it is very important to only eat fresh eggs. You can determine the quality and freshness of eggs yourself, resorting to some tricks.
It is necessary
- - electronic balance;
- - glassware;
- - plate.
Instructions
Step 1
To determine the freshness of an egg, you need an electronic scale. Fresh heavy, weighs twelve grams. The old one even feels very light, as if empty, if you put such an egg on an accurate scale, the mass will show four to six grams.
Step 2
Take a deep glass container and fill it with water. Gently lower the quail egg, if it is fresh, it will immediately sink to the bottom and turn on its side. As it dries, the egg loses its freshness, and the amount of air begins to increase and accumulates in the area of the pointed end of the egg.
Step 3
If you put an egg in a container of water, it will lie with its sharp end on the bottom, the blunt side will point to the surface. Such a product is still usable, it is a week old.
Step 4
If the quail eggs float a little or remain on the surface of the water, throw them away, they are clearly spoiled. This method is only suitable for eggs without cracks or other damage.
Step 5
Crack the quail egg on a flat, horizontal surface. The white of a fresh egg will remain close to the yolk and will not spread much, while the yolk will retain its compact and rounded shape. In a spoiled or less fresh egg, the white and yolk will spread over the surface of the dish, losing their viscosity. Refuse to use such eggs, otherwise poisoning cannot be avoided.
