A chicken egg is an oval shelled egg containing white and yolk, used whole in baking and cooking or boiled, fried and scrambled.
About Chicken egg
A chicken egg is an oval, shelled egg consisting of a protective shell, egg white, and yolk. Shell colour varies, while the white is translucent and viscous when raw and turns opaque when heated; the yolk is yellow to orange and has a rich, soft texture. Eggs are sold in different sizes and may be sold shell-on or as separated components.
Whole eggs are used in baking and cooking, and may be boiled, fried, scrambled, or prepared in other ways. Their flavour is mild, with the yolk providing most of the richness. Liquid, frozen, or dried egg products are processed forms and should not be assumed to match a fresh shell egg in composition or handling.
