Ever seen someone hold an egg up to a flashlight? That’s called “candling.” It’s not just for hipster farmers. In a dark room, shine a bright light through the egg. A fresh egg looks clear with a tiny air cell.
If you see big dark blotches? That’s a bacterial rave happening inside. Hard pass. A perfectly clear egg is like a clear conscience—nothing to hide.
Don’t have a flashlight? Use your phone’s light. It works. You’ll look a little silly, but you’ll be a smart silly person.
