Traditional Methods for Checking Egg Freshness
There are several traditional methods people use to check the freshness of eggs. One commonly used method is the “fluoroscopy” technique, in which an egg is held up to a light source to observe the size of the air cells. Another method involves cracking the egg to examine the yolk and white. Fresh eggs have a firm yolk and a thick white. However, these methods can be time-consuming or require the egg to be opened, which isn’t ideal if you want to keep it whole.
