Buying good eggs can make a world of difference in your meals. Here are some characteristics to look for:
Shell Quality: The eggshell should be clean, smooth, and free of cracks or blemishes.
Weight: A good egg feels heavy for its size. If the egg feels light, it might be old.
Carton Date: Check the pack date or expiration date on the carton to ensure the eggs are fresh.
Grade: Look for USDA Grade AA or A for the best quality eggs.
Yolk and White: When cracked, the yolk should be round and firm, and the egg white should be thick and not spread out too much.
Color: The color of the eggshell (brown or white) doesn’t affect the quality. It’s more about personal preference.
