What is the difference between newborn eggs and ordinary eggs?

What is the difference between whole grain eggs and ordinary eggs?

I went to the supermarket today and planned to buy some meat and vegetables to take home. When I arrived at the fresh food department, I saw the plates of eggs that were quite fresh, and I thought about buying some to take home and stock up on, so that I could make breakfast or eat them as a substitute for meat. So when I took a closer look, I saw grain eggs, multigrain eggs, newborn eggs, cordyceps eggs, native eggs, ecological eggs... It was really confusing. Which one should I buy?

I believe that most of the neighbors have also had doubts about this:

What are the differences between so many kinds of eggs? I heard that native eggs have higher nutritional value. Is there any scientific basis for this? I heard that certain varieties of eggs taste particularly good. Which ones are they specifically?

In order to solve your own questions and help everyone find the truth, the editor specially searched for relevant information to answer everyone one by one!

What are the specific differences between various "concept eggs"

What are "concept eggs"?

The various grain eggs, multigrain eggs, newborn eggs, cordyceps eggs, native eggs, ecological eggs...all kinds of eggs with their own "fame" that we see on the market are all Collectively called "concept eggs". To put it bluntly, it is a marketing gimmick thought up by merchants to arouse the curiosity of consumers, thinking that this is a new variety of eggs, thereby arousing everyone's desire to buy.

"Concept eggs" have higher nutritional value?

In this era of being well-informed, many rumors have also arisen. In order to promote various concept eggs, many neighbors have heard from various sources that "concept eggs have higher nutritional value, are safer and more delicious than ordinary eggs". In fact, these opinions are incorrect.

Take ordinary eggs and free-range eggs as an example. Relevant scientific research shows that the nutritional content of free-range eggs and ordinary eggs is actually not much different. The main reason is that the cholesterol of free-range eggs is 2 to 3 times that of ordinary eggs, which is suitable for the development of adults. Children and adolescents may consume it for a long time, but people with high blood lipids may do more harm than good. On the contrary, the content of iron, calcium, magnesium and other minerals in ordinary eggs is slightly higher than that in native eggs, making them more suitable for middle-aged and elderly people. On the whole, ordinary egg boxes and concept eggs actually have their own differences. Although concept eggs will be slightly higher in some nutritional elements, because the price of concept eggs will be higher than ordinary eggs, ordinary eggs will be more cost-effective, and there is no need to blindly follow the trend. On the contrary, it is possible for neighbors with relatively well-off families to try different concept eggs.

What is the difference between "concept eggs"?

Many neighbors who have tried "concept eggs" believe that concept eggs are much more delicious than ordinary eggs, and the texture of the yolks is also obviously different (for example, the yolks are particularly large and yellow, and the taste is richer, etc. wait)! Why is this? First of all, we need to know that the essential difference between concept eggs and ordinary eggs lies in what feed the chickens eat.

The editor watched an interview video with an egg manufacturer, which said that grain eggs, multi-grain eggs, cordyceps eggs, high-calcium eggs, etc. (eggs named with the name of grains or nutrients) are all "added" "Egg" means adding different ingredients or elements to chicken feed so that the eggs laid by chickens will have different flavors or characteristics. (For example, chickens that lay grain eggs eat grains, and chickens that lay cordyceps eggs eat cordyceps. However, these chickens do not grow up eating a certain kind of feed, but only eat it 22-30 days in advance. This It is a cycle of egg production) This also perfectly explains why the yolk color, texture, etc. of some concept eggs are different from ordinary eggs.

But it should be noted that in order to reduce costs, many businesses will add other things to the feed (for example, the eggs produced by chickens that eat grains are called "grain eggs", but the cost of grains is high, and the eggs are not good. Merchants will mix some rapeseed meal, cotton meal, etc. into the feed in order to make the chickens eat less), resulting in very thin egg whites.

Newborn eggs and native eggs are more fishy

Why are these two types of eggs so fishy? First let’s talk about newborn eggs!

"Newborn eggs (first-lay eggs)" are the first eggs laid by hens. The probability of production is generally 1/450, which can be said to be very precious! Therefore, if there is a business selling newborn eggs in batches for a long time, there is definitely something fishy. Because newborn eggs are generally very small, unscrupulous merchants have come up with the idea of ??using "small eggs" to sell them mixed with eggs. After all, consumers seem to have no other way to distinguish them apart from their appearance.

Let’s talk about the most “local eggs” on the market.

Pure free-range eggs should be naturally free-range. Chickens can move around, dig soil, eat grass, eat insects, eat vegetables, etc. to grow naturally. However, since the current national standards do not differentiate or name eggs by grade, eggs raised free range, free range, or in captivity in rural areas or mountains (previously called "farm eggs") can also be called local eggs. According to relevant professionals, “Generally, the egg production rate of naturally raised native chickens is only about 70%. The eggs laid by pure native chickens are far from meeting the market demand, so at least 90% of the eggs currently on the market are not real native eggs. , but farm eggs.”

“The price of real local eggs is no less than 15 yuan/catty.”

This is what an industry boss said, because they are pure. The cost of pheasant eggs and local eggs is very high, and they have to be sold for at least 15 yuan/jin to barely break even. So the eggs we see currently on the market for 7-10 yuan/jin may be farm eggs or ordinary eggs.

So I personally think that instead of spending so much effort to identify the authenticity of various eggs, it is better to choose high-quality ordinary eggs and eat them with other ingredients. The nutrition is the same
