5 Ways to Choose best Eggs

Eggs are highly rich in protein and various other nutrients which are essential for our body. Selecting the best eggs is a vital aspect to get the most out of it. Many conditions should be kept in mind, such as how organic it is, the surroundings, etc. Choosing high quality eggs will not only give you the best nutrition, but also you will have a great taste while consuming them.

Here are five ways to choose the best eggs to avoid skipping the nutrition any day.

1. Choose the type of egg you want to consume: 

Though there is no strict categorization of eggs, we can roughly divide them based on how they are produced and their type of nutrition. Generally, you will find organic, free-range, and omega-3 eggs labels on the packaging. Getting the proper knowledge and differences about all these would help you choose a nutritious egg for your healthy diet.

2. Labels that are unregulated should be avoided: 

Don't fall into the trap of unregulated labels, which may be misleading you. Tags such as natural, premium eggs, organic eggs, etc., shouldn't be considered until and unless FSSAI approves it. Always check for approval of FSSAI and then buy the eggs.

3. Select the eggs which are clean and have uncracked shells:

Sometimes you may find damaged eggs or dirty eggs. Try to avoid those eggs which are damaged due to mishandling during transportation or shipping. Always choose clean and crack-free eggs.

4. Choose small or medium size eggs:

If possible, always try to choose eggs that are small or medium in size as these eggs are less likely to become contaminated by bacteria, and you can store them for longer durations.

5. Choosing refrigerated eggs:

If you buy eggs from stores, it's always  a good idea to buy the refrigerated eggs as refrigerated eggs are free from foodborne illnesses like salmonella and are more fresh eggs.
