Quail eggs, also known as quail bird eggs or quail eggs, are considered the "ginseng of animals". They are often eaten as a nourishing therapeutic food. Quail eggs have unique nutritional properties, hence they are known as the "best eggs" among animal eggs. They are nearly round in shape, very small in size, usually only about 10g, and have brown spots on the surface. The nutritional value of quail eggs is comparable to that of chicken eggs, and they have excellent skin care and beauty effects. Quails are timid birds that do not like to interact in groups, but prefer to move in pairs in open areas with vegetation cover, such as plains, pastures, and farmland. They are shy by nature, small in size, and have excellent camouflage, often hiding at the base of plants in fields and pastures, making them difficult to find. When startled, they will scream and fly away from their hiding place.
