The secret to perfecting egg strands

Rest assured that the product is made with quality eggs. The raw material for egg yarn is eggs, so you need to pay attention to the freshness of this product. Furthermore, the production technique is also essential to obtain a good egg drizzle, as well as a tasty and well-made syrup.

“A good egg strand must have a syrup in the ideal place to keep the strands juicy, and not be sugary, which would make them dry and brittle. Thickness also matters, and it must be with thin strands and of a more yellowish color These are fundamental factors for choosing a good product, and obviously a product without added preservatives”, he underlines.

How to evaluate egg yarn on the market?

First of all read the label! Checking the ingredient list is very important to ensure a preservative-free product. The ideal is to have only two things: eggs and sugar, nothing else. Next, look at the appearance of the product. Check that the syrup does not seem sugary, that the filaments are thin and visible and that the color is very bright yellow.
