Chicken egg, due to its nutritional qualities, is considered one of the most healthy foods. No balanced diet can do without eggs, because they are very rich in vitamins (A, D, E, group B) and minerals, as well as protein, which is almost 100% absorbed by the human body. The lecithin and iron contained in the eggs help to improve blood formation.
Everyone knows that village eggs are tastier and healthier than those obtained under industrial conditions. Therefore, many people when traveling outside the city immediately buy a large number of eggs. In the realities of modern life, not everyone can boast a large refrigerator, which can easily fit four or more dozens of eggs. And here the question arises - how to store them in order to avoid decay and subsequent poisoning?
Egg white is the only food product containing only proteins. There are no fats or carbohydrates in it.
Egg storage
Egg storage without a refrigerator has often been practiced and continues to be practiced so far in the villages: eggs are kept in dark, cool places. Of course, inside the apartment you can also store eggs outside the refrigerator, but it is not recommended to do this for longer than 1 week. If the eggs are rustic, then you can still leave them at room temperature for 14 days, but no more. And if you bought a large number of eggs in the store (for example, before Easter), then do this no earlier than 5-6 days before the expected date of use.
If you still need to keep the chicken eggs longer than the specified period, then you should carefully wipe them with a damp cloth to remove all dirt. Then you need to take a dry napkin, moisten it in any of the vegetable oils and grease each egg. Thus, an oily film is formed on the surface that protects the eggs. After that, you need to pack each in paper or newspaper and store in a dark, dry and cool place, preferably well ventilated. It is important not to allow the eggs to cool to sub-zero temperatures. In this form, fresh eggs can lie for up to 2 months.
