| Author | Topic: Watery egg whites? |
| siroon 01-15-2003 03:01 PM | If an egg passes all the freshness tests except that a small part of the white is watery, is it ok to eat? I have tested 4 eggs out of an cage-free carton, and only one of them had a completely gel like white. One of the them had a weak yoke, so I knew that one was bad. Two of them had a good, strong yoke, but about 1/5 of the white was watery. I did not eat them, but do you think they were fresh enough? Thank you |

| Sanna 01-30-2003 07:28 PM | is the only problem with not so fresh eggs the multiplied bacteria? are the nutrients affected?? (I have been eating raw yolks since July 2001 so I'm trained to fight bacteria) |
