It has always perplexed me to know how to find if eggs are fresh, though I know the water trick, but one can't do that in the shop. Well, I just read a simple way to ascertain the freshness of the eggs. Thought that I'ld share with you all.
TRICK- Just hold the egg between your fingers against bright light- if the top and bottom ends are clear, the egg is good, but if one the ends looks cloudy and coloured, then it is sure indication that the egg is bad. You can also test the freshness by placing the eff in salt water. A fresh egg will sink, while a stale one will float.
