When shopping, it is not always possible to test whether products are fresh.
This applies, for example, to eggs, where a well-known method requires water to determine their freshness, according to the outlet Kaipkada.
Instead, you should use this simple method, which only requires attention and your hands. It allows you to evaluate the product immediately.
Physical signs
Eggs change over time. The contents become more liquid, and more air forms inside. This affects how the egg reacts when handled.

These changes cannot be seen directly, but they can be felt. Small differences in movement and stability can give an indication of how old the egg is.
The shell reveals freshness
The shell also provides important clues. Fresh eggs often have a matte and slightly rough surface. Older eggs may appear smoother and shinier.
According to Kaipkada, these observations can help consumers make better choices, especially when there is no labeling or other information available.
