Question 5

How to do an egg test to check sugar density?

Accepted Answer

Egg test is a very important part of the fruit smoothie recipe in order to check sugar density. For this first, you need to wash and dry an egg in the shell and allow it to float in your prepared base. If this eggshell is bigger than a dime this means your base has excessive sugar content. In this case, you need to mix a little amount of water or a fruit puree to adjust the sugar level. In case your egg sinks or lesser than the dime that means there is not enough amount of sugar in the base. So, add a simple syrup or sugar or corn syrup to adjust the sugar level and then repeat this egg test again until it gets successful.
