How to recognize a fresh egg? 5 simple tests

Egg freshness is key to taste and safety. Here are five reliable tests: **1. Water Test (most famous)** Place an egg in a glass of water. A fresh egg sinks to the bottom. If it floats – throw it away. **2. Shake Test** Hold the egg near your ear and shake gently. If you hear nothing – it is fresh. **3. Visual Yolk Test** Crack the egg on a plate. A fresh egg has a high, rounded yolk. An old egg has a flat yolk. **4. Smell Test** A fresh egg has no smell at all. If you smell something unpleasant – the egg is spoiled. **5. Shell Test** A fresh egg has a rough, matte shell. An old egg has a smooth, shiny shell. When you buy eggs from Jajce.rs, freshness is guaranteed – our eggs arrive the same day they are laid!
