Is it worth getting involved in drinks from raw eggs?

Do you like the familiar from childhood gogol-mogul or prefer Egg-nog? Drinks, the obligatory component of which are eggs, have their devoted admirers. But there is one "but." Many of them doubt whether it is possible to drink raw eggs without harm to health.



Egg white binds ingredients, changes the structure of the drink, gives it softness, volume, forms foam. And how to protect yourself when using it and what drinks to prepare, will tell our article.

We are afraid to look at raw eggs, fearing salmonellosis. And do not act correctly, as fresh eggs from healthy chickens do not contain bacteria. However, they can get particles of chicken litter.



After some time (from 5 hours to 5 days), bacteria penetrate through the shell into the egg and infect it. Therefore, the eggs are disinfected at work. In addition, it does not hurt to wash them with soap and water immediately before use.



You can determine the freshness of eggs by date on the shell or using our life hack. It will take a minute, but it will save you from trouble.

The fresher the eggs, the less likely it is that bacteria have fertilized in them. Therefore, you need to buy only those that are stored in the refrigerator (cold slows the growth of bacteria).



Eggs should be clean, without dents and cracks, without traces of blood and other liquids. In any case, we do not recommend using raw eggs older than one week for cocktails.
