Normal eggs boiled twice in young boy's urine are being sold by shops and local vendors in Dongyang City, located in the center of Zheijang Province, China.
The virgin boy eggs have been produced for centuries and loved by many in the city.
Residents praise the local delicacy for a number of positive health benefits including its ability to prevent colds, boost vitality, and increase circulation
"These eggs cooked in urine are fragrant," said Ge Yaohua, 51, who owns one of the more popular "virgin boy eggs" stalls. "Our family has them for every meal. In Dongyang, every family likes eating them."
Vendors collect virgin boys' urine from elementary schools and homes around the city and use it as a main ingredient for their unusual street food.
They're actually put through the process twice, first with shells and then again with their shells cracked open.
The whole "cooking" process takes an entire day and one egg shells for 23 cents.
"It's so delicious that I can eat 10 eggs a day," a woman surnamed Liu told Shanghai Daily. "I am addicted."
"The smell kills me," a Mr. Li told the Qianjiang Evening Post. "I feel like throwing up at the thought of it. It stinks."
