HS classmate of mine later went on to raise chickens, and said on FB that fresh eggs were miles better than just about all common store types. Maybe excluding Amish or Farmers Market? I have no way of personally checking that, as I haven’t been to my uncle’s chicken farm in many decades.
What think?
I do know that in the States, the regulation is to remove the protective coating from the egg, making it look nicer, but also cutting down on its shelf life and necessitating refridgerating it immediately. So I suppose that also factors in to taste.
They’re more vibrant! My twin works with someone who raises chickens. They also taste nicer, but I’m unsure how much of that is me willing it to be.
Farm birds get a much more diverse diet because they spend much of their day foraging. Could I taste the difference between store-bought and home-raised? Probably not. Can I see the difference when I crack them open, definitely. The yolks are dramatically deeper in color.
The American standard of washing the eggs is not to make them prettier. It’s to make them so they can be refrigerated for longer-term storage.
Interesting, thanks.
A general rule, unwashed eggs will last around two weeks unrefrigerated and about three months or more in your refrigerator…. Washed eggs must be refrigerated and will last around two months in the refrigerator.
That rule is way off. We can expect 4+ weeks of shelf life on unwashed eggs at room temperature. The older eggs make better hard boiled eggs because they are easier to peel.
