Eggs have forever entered the human diet in ancient times. This happened due to the fact that they contain a large amount of protein that the body needs. But, like any other food, eggs have their own shelf life. How long can eggs be kept in the refrigerator?
Eggs are perfectly absorbed by the human body and contain a large amount of protein. According to this indicator, they can even replace meat products.
After purchasing eggs, you can immediately use them to prepare various dishes or place them for a certain time in the refrigerator for storage. However, they can be pre-welded.
How long are raw eggs stored in the refrigerator
Various external factors affect the shelf life of raw eggs. Homemade eggs can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 months, but store eggs can be stored for no more than one month. In this case, a very important condition must be observed: do not wash them after purchase, despite the fact that many domestic eggs are very dirty.
It is also necessary to place these food items closer to the back of the refrigerator, and not on the door, as many do. When the door is opened frequently, the temperature inside is constantly changing, which can significantly reduce the shelf life.
Eggs are stored better in plastic containers or in sealed original packaging. They are laid with the sharp side down.
Sometimes it happens that it is impossible to store eggs in the refrigerator, then they are wrapped in paper or placed in a salty solution in any container that is placed in a cool place. In this case, fresh eggs can be stored for just over one month.
To correctly track the expiration date, you need to purchase eggs only in stores where they will be marked with a packaging time.
How long to store boiled eggs in the refrigerator
Boiled eggs have a much shorter shelf life than fresh eggs. During cooking, a protective layer from the penetration of various microbes is washed off from the surface of the shell, and the yolk with protein in this case deteriorates much faster. Therefore, boiled eggs without visible damage can be stored in the refrigerator for no more than 10 days. If there are various cracks in the shell, then no more than 3 days at all.
But sometimes, even during the shelf life, the eggs become rotten and unsuitable for cooking. This can happen if all the rules for the transportation and storage of this product are not followed correctly. This can be immediately guessed by the unpleasant pungent smell. It is also enough to lower the egg into the water, and in the case of its complete ascent, it will be clear that it is rotten.
Prerequisites for longer storage of eggs are 85% humidity and temperature from 0 to +19 degrees.
