The Fertilized Chicken Eggs



What exactly is a fertilized egg? 
A hen lays eggs irrespective of the presence of a rooster. The chicken eggs are only fertilized if the rooster has mated with the hen, this has to happen before the egg is formed. Therefore, any egg that a hen lays before she mated is unfertilized but if a hen has mated, then the egg would be fertilized. Even if an egg has been fertilized, once it goes into the fridge, no development takes place of the embryo. It is said that if a hen has mated once, then for an entire week, she will lay fertilized eggs.

Many people said fertilized chicken eggs are healthier and contain more nutrition value. And people are saying that eating fertilized eggs can nourish treatable blood deficiency and dysmenorrhea. However it is still a highly debatable topic.

Vietnamese Duck Egg


This hair duck egg is actually a not yet fully developed embryos. The northern Vietnamese like to eat this type of duck egg when the beak and claws of the duck have already been remarkable prototype inside the egg.

Usually, this kind of egg is cooked with the shell. Before they start eating the egg, they will peel the shell in a little hole so that they can drink the broth inside the egg shell. Even though the egg is almost successfully  hatching to be a duck, and the bone of the duck is already forming inside the egg, people say that the texture of the egg is still soft.

I can't believe people eat these. Cicada is a kind of insect that is hearsay has high nutritional value. In China, people dry this kind of insect, and use it as part of the traditional Chinese medicine. But due to Cicada's high nutritional value, unique style, and good taste, people also eat it as deep fried.

According to the analysis and research finding from the Chinese Institute of Food and Nutrition, per 100g of Cicada has 72g protein, 15g fat, and 1.8g ash. In addition, it also contains essential calcium, phosphorus, iron, and multivitamin and trace elements. Through scientific analysis, the Cicada body is rich in amino acids, proteins and trace elements.

Incredible Live Sea Urchin






Live Sea Urchin - at the very first time I saw this really alive spiny and globular animal I was inexpressibly astonished. I believe many people would not dare to eat it when they see its shell. I have seem and eaten lots of sea urchins meets before, but I had never imagined where the meat came from, and what the real animal look like. I love to eat sea urchin. It tastes so creamy and sweet. Every time I go to a Japanese Restaurant, this is always a must course for me. After seeing the shell of the sea urchin, it increased my curiosity about this globular animal. 

Sea urchin is classified as Echinoidea of the echinoderm phylum. The size of it is normally range from 6 to 12 centimeters. What we eat is "roe" of the sea urchin, not the organ. Since it is so small, there is not much meets to eat in one sea urchin. 

The shell of the sea urchin has long and sharp spines around its body to protect them from predators. 
but many studies show that even though these spines would hurt people when they penetrate human 
skin, they are not dangerous. Typically, its spin length range from 1 to 3 centimeters, and 1 to 2 millimeters thick.

The mouth lies in the center of the oral surface. They eat mostly algae, seaweed, and tiny organisms to survive. 

The most popular way to eat sea urchin is eat it as raw, but some cuisine also make dishes with cooked sea urchin with other ingredients together. Some studies show that the sea urchin roe has 126 calories per 100 edible grams.
