Fresh brown eggs are a versatile and nutritious staple for any kitchen, perfect for baking, breakfast, and countless culinary creations. Proper storage ensures their quality and safety for weeks.

Storage Time

Keep refrigerated for 3-5 weeks past the sell-by date for optimal freshness and quality.

Temperature

Store brown eggs in the refrigerator at a consistent temperature between 0°C and 4°C (32°F and 40°F).

Freezing

Yes, brown eggs can be frozen to extend their shelf life significantly. To freeze, crack eggs into a bowl, whisk them lightly to break the yolks, and then portion them into airtight containers or ice cube trays. For best results, label with the date and number of eggs. Frozen eggs are best used for cooking and baking where their texture may change slightly upon thawing. Thaw frozen eggs slowly in the refrigerator.

Signs of Spoilage

• A strong, sulfurous odor when cracked.
• A cloudy or discolored egg white.
• A floating egg when placed in water (a fresh egg sinks).
