Century eggs are made by putting eggs into a mix of cement, ash, and lime, and letting the mixture preserve the eggs for a number of weeks or months. The preserved eggs have a brown shell with snowflake-like patterns, a rich brown egg white, and a bright green yolk. The taste of century eggs has been compared to strong [[cheese]].
