Black-bone chicken green-shell eggs

　　Black-bone chicken green-shell eggs, also known as blue-shell eggs, are referred to as "miracle eggs" by the renowned Chinese nutritionist Yu Ruomu. They are produced by black-feathered green-shell laying hens (also known as the Chinese Black-feathered Ten-Excellence Chicken), a breed listed by China's Ministry of Agriculture under the "National Key Germplasm Resource Protection" program. Their beak, comb, feathers, skin, meat, bones, claws, and internal organs are all black, and even their blood contains melanin. The eggs they produce are green (nine black, one green) and are believed to have special medicinal value, which is why the breed is called the "Chinese Black-feathered Ten-Excellence Chicken."

According to research results from the Institute of Genetics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the black-feathered green-shell laying chicken is a precious and unique genetic resource. Its rare genetic makeup is unmatched both in China and abroad, making it a chicken breed unique to China. Research has shown that its protein, vitamin, trace element, and 15 amino acid content are significantly higher than those of common local chicken breeds. It has low cholesterol and minimal crude fat, but is rich in melanin. These eggs can nourish yin and yang, boost kidney function, enhance beauty, and regulate bodily functions. The meat is delicious, with thin skin, tender flesh, and a smooth texture. The chicken soup has an aromatic fragrance and strong chicken flavor, making it suitable for a variety of cooking methods. It is an indispensable delicacy on the dining tables of many.
