Spotting the Difference: Real vs. Fake Eggs…

In today’s market, where food safety and quality are more important than ever, knowing how to distinguish real, organic chicken eggs from synthetic or non-organic ones is a valuable skill.

Here’s a straightforward guide to help you ensure the eggs you bring home are genuine and of the highest quality.

1. Shell Appearance:

Real organic eggs typically have a rougher, more uneven shell compared to synthetic or non-organic eggs, which may have a uniformly smooth and often shinier surface. Organic eggs can also vary in color and size.

2. Yolk and White Consistency:
