Eggstraordinary Insights: 🥚 How to Tell if an Egg Is Still Good – Simple Kitchen Tests

Infolounge logo

Ever wondered how to check if an egg is still fresh — without using any tools?

• Float test: Fresh eggs sink; older ones float as the air cell expands.
• Shake test: No sloshing sound = fresher egg.
• Crack test: A firm yolk and tall, thick albumen are signs of top freshness.
• Smell: The most reliable indicator — fresh eggs have no off-odours.
Sometimes, it’s not just what we eat, but how foods work together.


At LOHMANN BREEDERS, we select for strong internal egg quality traits and support our customers worldwide with management and nutrition expertise, helping them maintain these qualities throughout production.

💡Tip: A floating egg isn’t always spoiled — but it should be used fully cooked.
