Where do you keep your eggs?
A lot of people have eggs at home and most of those people keep their eggs in the fridge. But have you ever noticed that grocery stores keep them outside of the refrigerator? Does that mean that your eggs should be stored outside of the fridge too? Let’s find out!
Extended freshness
The general statement is: eggs stay fresh longer when they’re in the refrigerator. In some areas of the world it is even dangerous to keep your eggs outside of the fridge. Like in the US, the eggs are treated with a substance that kills bacteria. This substance also causes the protective layer of the egg to dissolve, making the egg more vulnerable. This is why eggs in the US have to be kept inside of the fridge; bacteria can’t grow in the colder conditions. In Europe you could keep your eggs outside of the fridge, although it is recommended to keep them cold just to extend their freshness.
