Vendors collect virgin boys? urine from elementary schools around the city and use it as a main ingredient for their unusual street food.

The pee is then used to boil eggs, their shell cracked to allow the flavour to slip through, then soaked in urine and boiled again. The whole ?cooking? process takes an entire day. I know it sounds disgusting, but some people say they ?have the taste of Spring?, while others claim ?they?re so delicious that I could eat 10 a day?.
If Virgin Eggs sound like something you?d like to try, you?ll be pleased to know locals are planning to export the delicacy so ?people outside China to fully appreciate the delicacy of our cuisine?, says local chef Lu Ming.

As the spring is setting in, a strange smell begins to permeate in the air in Dongyang City, Zhejiang Province as locals are eating the seasonal "virgin egg."
Virgin eggs are actually eggs cooked in the urine of virgin boys. Most outsiders are appalled at the idea. But virgin eggs are selling well in every street corner of Dongyang. Costing 1.5 yuan each, they are often sold out, Qianjiang Evening News reported.
These two weeks, schoolboys in Dongyang City need to pee into plastic barrels placed outside their classrooms, which are collected by nearby residents. Local teachers accepted the practice and even reminded the boys not to pee into the barrels if they are sick.
According to the egg sellers, cooking virgin eggs is just like cooking tea eggs with right heat and time.
"It's so delicious that I can eat 10 eggs a day," said a woman surnamed Liu, who moved to Dongyang several years ago and developed a taste for virgin egg. "I had never eaten it before I came here, but I got addicted to it now."
However, not all Dongyang people are interested in it. One local resident surnamed Li said he never tasted it. "I can't stand the smell. It's awful."
In eyes of many Dongyang people, virgin egg is a perfect tonic for spring. Egg sellers will tell you that it helps to prevent springtime drowsiness and heatstroke in the summer.
However, doctors' opinions vary a lot. Wu Yunhua, a director at the Dongyang Central Hospital told the newspaper that urine contains a kind of crystal that can "diminish the internal heat of human body" and stop bleeding.
But Huang Jian, a physician and the director of Jinhua Central Hospital, contested that there's nothing good for health in the urine. "After all, it is a waste from the body."
