The Bottom Line
The next time you crack open an egg, remember that appearance tells only part of the story.
A firm white, rounded yolk, intact shell, fresh smell, and proper storage are all helpful indicators of egg quality.
While yolk color can be interesting, it should not be used by itself to judge whether an egg came from a healthy chicken.
Understanding these simple facts can help you make informed choices while avoiding some of the common myths that continue to circulate online.
