Random “ooh, ooh, I know this!” moment. - They last for weeks at room temperature if you don’t wash the cuticle off - longer than washed eggs in a fridge. They often come with bonus chicken poop.
Yeah I looked into the two different storage methods awhile back due to lots of disparaging comments from Europeans and found there really isn’t much difference in outcomes between the two systems, washing vs not washing. The systems just developed differently organically in North America and Europe, and inertia keeps them going. Investing the resources to change the systems either way at this point is just not worth it
I’ve generally tried to stick with the most ethically raised eggs I can buy. If I hear a friend/family/coworker sells eggs I’m all up on that. Been a few years for that opportunity though
However the side effect is my eggs have continued to be available (until literally all the other ones ran out) at the same price since
They’re “expensive” but well worth it overall. I’m also assuming the continued availability and price reflects the conditions they’re kept in. If the flock wasn’t culled like all the big farms then I have to assume they’re treating their chickens right
Milk don’t even age that fast…
I was gonna say, I bought milk last weekend and it’s still good
How about your eggs?
Also still good, spent $6.50 on a dozen XL pasture raised. Washed eggs will keep for weeks in the fridge.
I recognize you were making a joke, but there’s a real answer lol

Cheers fellow egg lover!
