Eggs are a favorite ingredient for everyone. This article will introduce unique Chinese omelette recipes.

Nutritional Information about Eggs

Eggs not only contain protein and many other nutrients, but are also easy to prepare. Common dishes include hard-boiled eggs in the shell, steamed eggs with broth, and fried eggs.

Next, we’ll share some other delicious side dishes for fried eggs besides adding chopped green onions or preserved radish. We’ll also share the internal structure of an egg.

Introduction to the Internal Structure of an Egg

Generally speaking, an egg can be roughly divided into three parts: the eggshell, the albumen, and the yolk. The eggshell, albumen, and yolk account for approximately 10%, 60%, and 30% of the egg’s weight, respectively. The egg is released from the ovary, becoming the yolk, which then passes through five parts of the oviduct to form an egg.

• Yolk: The egg released from the hen’s ovary. If fertilized, it contains an embryo. It contains approximately 30% lipid and 16% protein, and is the primary energy source for the fertilized embryo to develop into a chick.
• Albumen: After the egg enters the oviduct, the oviduct secretes albumen, forming a layer of albumen around the egg. This layer then forms the eggshell membrane and the eggshell. Albumen primarily provides protein and water. In a fertilized egg, it aids embryonic development.
• Eggshell: The eggshell is primarily composed of calcium carbonate. The shell is covered with numerous pores that provide the oxygen exchange necessary for the embryo to breathe. The calcium primarily comes from the feed consumed by the chicken.

Eggs purchased commercially are generally unfertilized and will not develop into chicks, so they are safe to eat.
