about an emu egg?

Question

I'm cooking an emu egg I bought, and the yolk is lighter than hen or ostrich egg, even more than quail, is this normal?

Answer 1

Emu eggs, which weigh over a pound and have a volume of about ten chicken eggs, are dark green in color. This unusual appearance, coupled with the fact that different layers of the shell are progressively lighter green, makes emu eggshells sought after by egg decorators and egg carvers, who can produce striking "egg art" with a cameo like effect by using the natural colors of these layers. According to Tixier (1945), the green pigment of the emu egg is the methyl ester of biliverdin Xla.

What about the egg contents - are they green too? To the disappointment of anyone who has ever read Dr. Seuss' "Green Eggs and Ham", the inside of an emu egg looks about like the inside of any other egg, with a yolk that is yellow (sometimes a little paler yellow than chicken egg yolk) and a normal, translucent egg-white - again, like chicken egg, but slightly more viscous because it contains less water - 67% versus 75%. One noticeable difference between emu eggs and chicken eggs is that in the emu egg, the yolk is huge. Chicken eggs (excluding shell) contain about 65% white, 35% yolk. Emu eggs, by comparison, contain 55% white, 44% yolk. This is not surprising, considering that an emu egg is designed to feed a developing chick for a 50 - 56 day incubation period (versus only 21 days for the chicken) and considering the fact that most of an egg's nutrients - fats, vitamins, minerals and proteins - are concentrated in the yolk.

Answer 2

Cracking the shell will enable micro organism to circulate into the egg. The micro organism will in simple terms dinner social gathering on the yolk of the egg (it relatively is what the starting to be embryo is meant to consume) and could, genuinely, kill the egg. in case you relatively had to attempt to hatch it, you need to, yet in simple terms remember how adverse rotten egg smells.

Answer 3

the yolk color is based more on what the emu has eaten. your emu must have been grain fed more than grass fed.

Answer 4

I like to eat stupid eggs
