Cleaning and storing fresh eggs

Thank you for writing this article. Due to roll-out best boxes I rarely get dirty eggs but one or two insist on laying on the coop floor! I sometimes wash those eggs and always wonder whether I should just leave them alone! I usually end up eating those eggs myself instead of selling/giving them away.

Breaks down old myths about fresh eggs.

I had no idea store bought eggs were could be that old!!! I am even more "egg-cited" for my littles to start laying...though I know it's months away. Very informative on how to clean "dirty eggs". Thanks for all of the info!

Great article with lots of information. I love how you linked other appropriate threads to this one.

This is is great article, and I was glad you mentioned the bloom because not everyone knows about that and a lot of people leave it out.
:yesss:

Really interesting article. I wasn't aware of the 'bloom' properties and even though I've worked in a butchers for 17years selling eggs, I had no idea they have 30 days to get the eggs to the store before the 'best before' date gets stamped on the carton with another 30 days!
Thank for the info.

Before reading this article, I was not aware that cool water could potentially suck bacteria in through the porous shell. Will definitely wash with warm water from now on!

My grandma used to clean her eggs with a dry scrub pad only if needed. Otherwise they'd be left alone. This article is a good reminder that most often things are best left in their natural state.

Thanks for the reminders.

This article is helpful for understanding less known facts about eggs.

Good article with helpful links.

The reference to “commercial farmers” and rules / regulations refer only to the US. It may be worth specifying this, imo.

Nice concise and to the point. Good article!

Great information. Easy to read and apply to my life
