It’s wise to be careful while ordering your daily dose of eggs from an online retailer
Suspense Crime, Digital Desk : E-commerce has eased the purchasing process of various goods and the delivery at our doorsteps is a benefit, but there has always been ambiguity regarding the quality of these products. In light of this, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) had recently inquired from e-commerce players about the quality of eggs. Thus, it becomes vital for consumers to know the correct methods to store them and also take into consideration while purchasing them.
FSSAI has also provided the tips below for storing and purchasing eggs-
According to FSSAI guidelines, eggs are considered fresh and edible for 10-12 days when stored at the normal temperature of 28-30 C.
At times of extreme temperatures, the shelf life of an egg drastically reduces. This implies that high temperature and high humidity has a direct bearing on egg quality.
Furthermore, FSSAI also states that eggs should be stored on an egg shelf, or the egg trays available at home.
Moreover, FSSAI recommends consumers to buy eggs from stores where the storage temperature of eggs is cool and well ventilated and covered.
Health benefits of eating eggs:
Eggs can easily be regarded as one of the superfoods, and so here we have enlisted the various benefits that are conferred upon the body by consumption.
Powerhouse of protein
Out of the nine essential amino acids, our body is unable to create six and so they must be taken through food. These nine amino acids make up 6 grams of protein present in an egg. Eggs can therefore be called a power house of protein among the other foods.
Packed with nutrients such as vitamins and minerals
Aside from being a protein powerhouse, eggs are also brimming with phosphorus, Vitamin B-12, selenium, choline, antioxidants, etc which are all crucial for one's health.
