💡 Quick Storage Tips for Farm-Fresh Eggs
To keep your eggs fresher for longer, follow these three rules:
- Don’t Wash Them Yet: Farm eggs have a natural coating called a “bloom” that protects them from bacteria. Only wash them right before you are ready to use them.
- Pointy Side Down: Store eggs with the large, blunt end up. This keeps the air cell at the top and the yolk centered.
- Consistent Temp: Whether you choose the counter or the fridge, keep the temperature stable. If you refrigerate them, store them in the main body of the fridge rather than the door, where the temperature fluctuates.
Pro Tip: If your eggs pass the float test but have a thin white, don’t worry! They are still perfectly safe for baking or making omelets.
