Can we eat a raw egg?

Because before putting it on his steak, in his bimbimbap or mixing it in his smoothie or tiramisu, the question arises. Indeed, eggs can carry bacteria such as salmonella: they are germs sometimes present on the shell and which can contaminate, in some cases, the interior. Precautions to take?

• Only choose extra-fresh eggs in the preparations where they are raw.
• Eliminate the egg as soon as you have a doubt. If the shell is cracked or dirty, it is better not to take a risk and throw the egg in question.
• Think fresh, to keep the egg first, but also the preparations containing the raw egg once they are finished and before serving them.
• Finally, it is better to avoid any contact between food and shell: it zaps the presentation of laying a half-shell, containing yellow, directly on his tartare !
