Red caviar was first discovered by accident in 1768 by Russian scientist Stepan Vyazemsky who was searching for new ways to cure tuberculosis. He found that eating raw eggs could help treat some cases of the disease because it contained a fatty substance called phospholipid which helped ward off bacteria and mites that caused it. In addition to curing TB, red caviar has been used since ancient times as an anti-inflammatory agent—the reason why sushi chefs often put it on their plates before serving nigiri (hand rolls).

The color of your caviar depends on the type of fish it comes from and how it’s stored after being harvested. If you’re buying fresh red caviar, look for an egg that’s bright orange with no hint of brown or gray tones—this means it’s fresh! If your purchase has lighter-colored eggs with some hints at brownness in them, this might mean you have old caviar that has been improperly stored (which will make it go bad). Your best bet is to stick with freshness and buy only premium quality products with no signs of aging or discoloration when you open them up!
