Eat it. I have it on good inside information that eggs are very tastey!

Eat it. The fresher they are, the better they taste.

The ultimate breakfast -- go out into your garden early in the morning, pick whatever veggies and herbs are in season, get some eggs still warm from the hens, and make yourself a REALLY fresh omelet.

Eggs will keep 4 to 6 weeks, at least, in the fridge. The ones from the grocery store are usually 3-4 weeks old already when they put them out for sale.

You only need to wash them if they're dirty. If you do wash, use hot tap water, and a weak bleach rinse is OK.

You dont need to wash it unless it is really nasty or something. Alot of people dont wash them at all and leave them out on the counter in a basket. The chickens lay the eggs with a protective covering on it called BLOOM. This keeps bacteria from getting inside the egg. If you wash it, the bloom comes off and you MUST refridgerate. I have heard that eggs on the counter will last a month or more, 3 months or more in the fridge.
