Check if the egg is spoiled

Due to its shell, it is not possible to know if an egg is spoiled or not, but when you break it, the smell soon reveals if it is unsuitable for consumption. However, there are ways to tell if an egg has gone bad, even before you buy it.

In the case of checking before buying, many people think that it is not possible, but you just have to look at the eggs carefully. If you see some black stripes on the bark, probably very discreet, they must already be rotten or starting this process.

However, not every rotten egg will have these stripes. Therefore, to do this conference, you can take a transparent container with water and place the egg inside, observing how it will move. If the egg floats, it is spoiled, if it is immersed and tilted, it may be rotting, but if it sinks and is horizontal, it is in perfect condition.

Another interesting way is to shake the egg next to your ear and see if you hear a sound or not. If you listen, he must already be old, since the noise is from the white and the yolk that dry out and shrink over time. If you don't hear anything, you can consume it, as the egg is in good condition.

Even following these tips, when cracking the egg, observe it. If the yolk spreads out too much or the white is too transparent, the egg could be stale.
