Is there a difference between earth eggs, whole grain eggs and newborn eggs?

What's the difference between whole wheat eggs and ordinary eggs?

Today, I went to the supermarket and planned to buy some meat and vegetables to go home. When people go to the fresh food department, they look at the plates of eggs that are quite fresh, so they want to buy some to go home and hoard, make breakfast or eat instead of meat. So I took a closer look and found that five-grain eggs, miscellaneous grains eggs, newborn eggs, cordyceps eggs, native eggs and ecological eggs are confusing. Which one should I buy?

I believe that the vast majority of neighborhoods have also had doubts about this:

What is the difference between so many kinds of eggs? It is said that soil eggs have higher nutritional value. Is there any scientific basis? I heard that some kinds of eggs taste very good. Which one is it?

In order to solve their own questions and help everyone find the truth, the border army specially went to find relevant information to answer them one by one!

What are the specific differences between various "concept eggs"

What is a "concept egg"?

All kinds of eggs we see in the market, such as whole grain eggs, miscellaneous grains eggs, newborn eggs, cordyceps eggs, native eggs, ecological eggs ... all kinds of eggs with "famous dishes" are collectively called "concept eggs". To put it bluntly, it is a marketing stunt that merchants come up with in order to arouse consumers' curiosity and think that this is a new variety of eggs, thus arousing everyone's desire to buy.

Is "concept egg" more nutritious?

In this well-informed era, there are also many rumors. In order to promote various concept eggs, many neighborhoods have heard many sayings that "concept eggs are more nutritious, safer and tastier than ordinary eggs", but in fact, these viewpoints are all incorrect.

Take ordinary eggs and native eggs as examples. Relevant research shows that there is little difference in nutritional components between native eggs and natural eggs, mainly because the cholesterol of native eggs is 2-3 times that of ordinary eggs, which is suitable for children in growing period, but it is harmful for people with hyperlipidemia. On the contrary, the content of iron, calcium and magnesium in ordinary eggs is slightly higher than that in native eggs, which is more suitable for middle-aged and elderly people. Generally speaking, ordinary egg boxes and concept eggs actually have their own swings. Although the concept egg will be slightly higher in some nutritional elements, the price of the concept egg will be higher than that of the ordinary egg, so the cost performance of the ordinary egg will be better, and there is no need to blindly pursue it in order to follow the trend. On the contrary, it is a community with relatively affluent family conditions, and it is still possible to taste eggs with different concepts.

What's the difference between "concept eggs"?

There are also many neighborhoods that have tried "concept eggs" and think that concept eggs are really much more delicious than ordinary eggs, and the texture of yolk is also obviously different (for example, the yolk is particularly large and yellow, with a richer taste, etc.). )! Why is this? First of all, we should know that the essential difference between concept eggs and ordinary eggs lies in what feed chickens eat.

Editor Jun watched an interview video of an egg producer, saying that five-grain eggs, miscellaneous grains eggs, cordyceps eggs, high-calcium eggs and so on. Eggs named after grain or nutrition belong to "adding eggs", that is, adding different ingredients or elements to chicken feed will make the eggs laid by chickens have different flavors or characteristics. (For example, chickens that lay eggs with miscellaneous grains eat miscellaneous grains, and chickens that lay eggs with Cordyceps sinensis eat Cordyceps sinensis, but these chickens do not grow from snacks, but eat 22-30 days in advance, which is an egg laying cycle. This also perfectly explains why some conceptual eggs are different from ordinary eggs in terms of yolk color and texture.

However, it should be noted that in order to reduce costs, many merchants will add other things to the feed (for example, the eggs laid by chickens that eat grains are called "grain eggs", but the cost of grains is high, and unscrupulous merchants will mix some rapeseed meal and cotton meal. In order to make the chicken eat less), this makes the egg white very thin.

Newborn eggs and native eggs are tricky.

Why are these two kinds of eggs so tricky? First of all, let's talk about newborn eggs!

"Newborn eggs", that is, the eggs laid by hens for the first time, generally have a production probability of 1/450, which can be said to be very precious! Therefore, if the merchants sell newborn eggs in batches for a long time, it is definitely tricky. Because newborn eggs are usually very small, unscrupulous merchants came up with the idea of selling them directly with "small eggs". After all, consumers seem to have no other way to distinguish them except from the appearance.

Then talk about the most "earth eggs" on the market.

Pure earth eggs should be naturally free-range, and chickens can walk around, dig, eat grass, eat insects, eat vegetables and so on. However, because there is no classification or naming of eggs in the current national standards, eggs (formerly known as "farm eggs") that are free-range, free-range and captive in rural or mountainous areas can also be called native eggs. According to relevant professionals, "the laying rate of naturally stocked chickens is only about 70%. At present, the eggs laid by pure native chickens are far from meeting the market demand, so at least 90% of the eggs on the market are not real native eggs, but farm eggs. "

"The price of real earth eggs is not lower than 15 yuan/kg."

This is what an industry boss said, because the cost of pure mountain eggs and earth eggs is very high, at least 15 yuan/kg can barely break even. So at present, the 7- 10 yuan/kg eggs we see in the market may be just farm eggs or ordinary eggs.

So I personally think-instead of spending so much effort to distinguish the authenticity of various eggs, it is better to choose some high-quality ordinary eggs and eat them with other ingredients. Isn't nutrition the same?
