A dozen things you might want to know about eggs

1. When preparing eggs for an omelette, beat the eggs together with a pinch of salt. This helps to mix the egg yolk and white quicker so that you don't have to beat the egg as much. The less you beat, the lighter the omelette will be.
2. Ideally, use a separate non - stick pan only for your egg recipes.
3. When scrambling, beat the eggs together with a drop of milk.  This will make the end result light, fluffy and moist. Do not stir too much.
4. Always use your eggs at room temperature. 
5. Eat vitamin C, preferably citric fruits, at the same meal. The vitamin C favours iron absorption and the citric acid helps to absorb calcium.
6. Add lemon juice or vinegar to the water when hard boiling eggs to prevent the shells from cracking. To hard boil eggs, bring water to boil, turn off heat, cover and let eggs sit for 20 minutes. Peel and enjoy.
7. In Columbia and other S. American countries, where there might be a shortage of other calcium sources, eggs are soaked for some days in vinegar to dissolve the shell and then the vinegar is drunk.
8. Egg white is also known as albumen or glair
9. An egg white is made mainly of protein and also contains niacin (vitamin B3), riboflavin (vitamin B2), chlorine, magnesium, potassium, sodium and sulphur. The yolk is a favourable source of iron, calcium, sodium and potassium.
10. A double yolk egg is longer and thinner than other eggs. To determine a double yolk, the farmer will shine a bright light behind the egg and, almost like an x-ray, he sees through the shell and it's content. This process is called "candling" because, before the invention of powerful electric bulbs,  farmers used a candle.
11. The only difference between brown and white eggs is the price. The colour of the hen indicates the colour of the egg it will lay.  There is no nutritional difference whatsoever.
12. Eggs take 24 - 26 hours to form. The hen lays the egg large end first and within 30 minutes the whole process starts anew.

O.K. Just some info. I have picked up on my way through life, speckled with one or two things I have found interesting in internet.
