BestsellerCountry/desi chicken eggs are eggs produced by indigenous or backyard-raised chickens. They are generally smaller than commercial white eggs, with shells that can range from cream to light brown. The yolk is often deeper yellow/orange, particularly when hens have a varied natural diet. Taste and yolk colour can vary with the hen's feed and breed.
Clean, intact shells without cracks or sliminess. A firm, rounded yolk that holds its shape well when cracked. Thick, clear egg white rather than a very watery white. A mild, natural smell — no strong or sulphurous odour. When refrigerated properly, raw eggs generally retain good quality for several weeks; follow the date and storage instructions if commercially packaged. Storage: Keep eggs refrigerated and avoid washing them immediately before storage, as washing can remove the egg's natural protective coating. For best safety, cook eggs until the white and yolk are firm, especially for children, older adults, pregnant people, or anyone immunocompromised.
