I saw those too! I'd like to know as well

I can't seem to find fresh quail eggs this is all I can find

 

[Logie_Bear]

They are usually in salt water mix, so you'd want to rinse them well before serving. Should be fine otherwise.

Really check out the ingredients. If they are packed in salt water, the eggs may absorb it through the porous shell and membrane.

It should be fine but like Laurarfl said they can absorb stuff from the water. If its just salt limit how many you offer and spread it out. Moderation is key. If there are other ingratiating I would avoid it.

Did you look at the ingredients Tyler? If not I will tomorrow

Ingredients: Water, Quail Egg (47%), Citric Acid (E330) As Acidity Regulators, Potassium Metabisulphite (R224) as Preservative

So the last two ingredients, safe in moderation?

 

[Deac77]

No I didn't look I was kinda in a hurry just took a quick pic I was looking for stuff for Kirby before work

If the place has those they generally have fresh quail eggs in the produce section. Or if you ask , they will see about getting them in for you

Both are used in human foods that are canned.

 

[Deac77]

I did ask its a very small Asian market and sadly it's bout the only place we have in this town to try and find it

 

[laurarfl]

Citric acid is Vit C. The other is a chemical that can be bought OTC to "sterilize" water or for people who make their own wine. It is just a common preservative that inhibits bacteria growth.

Maybe soak the eggs in a large bucket of water to get some of the salt out. I know some people do it with olives.

 

[Deac77]

Well guess Kirby will be getting these soon
