Candling is a technique that allows you to assess egg quality or the development of the chick in a fertilized egg.
Generally, this technique is carried out in the industrial environment using specialized equipment allowing table eggs to be classified before labeling and packaging them.
But you can still do the method at home, if you want. To do this, you need a cool, dimly lit place.
Have a light source such as a candle or a small flashlight. Hold the light source towards the end of the egg then tilt the egg and turn it from left to right. The contents of the egg should be visible.
This technique allows you to see if the air bubble is small or large. As the egg ages, the water evaporates and is replaced by gases. Thus, the larger the air pocket becomes, the more the egg is aged.
Can we eat food after its expiration date?
Some foods can be consumed several days after the expiration date stated on the packaging. However, a person who consumes raw fish, eggs or even expired meat takes health risks.
Although we are all against food waste, it is necessary to carefully check the packaging of the products we buy in supermarkets to ensure that their consumption is safe. In reality, passing the expiration date of a perishable product exposes you to various illnesses.
Here is a list of foods that can be consumed after the expiration date, relayed by our colleagues at Femme Actuelle:
Foods that never expire:
Certain foods like real honey which has many health benefits, salt, sugar or even vinegar never expire and can be kept forever.
Foods that do not expire, except in certain cases:
Canned goods, rice, pasta, cornstarch, flour, cereals and even dried vegetables can remain intact well after the expiration date marked on the packaging. However, these products can be infested with food moths and undergo spoilage.
