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.

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.
