Is washing eggs a good idea? It’s true that when you buy eggs at the supermarket, you sometimes come across eggs with dirty shells<\/strong> . And then you want to wash them to remove traces of dirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, you should never wash eggs according to a chicken farmer<\/strong> who lives near me. It may surprise you to hear this, but he explained everything to me. And I completely understood the reasons why you should avoid washing eggs before storing or eating them. <\/strong> Here are some of the answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you buy eggs, you may see some dirt on the shells. Feathers or droppings, some eggshells are very dirty. As a result, one wonders whether this dirt will transfer to the dish you are preparing with eggs. At that point, the first thing to do is wash them with soap and water<\/strong> . However, cleaning eggs is a big mistake that can cause serious effects. In fact, if you wash your eggs, you can contaminate them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You might think that washing eggs removes all traces of dirt and bacteria, but that’s not the case at all. Conversely, if the eggs go underwater, you will contaminate them. <\/strong> And for good reason, egg shells are porous and made up of tiny holes invisible to the naked eye. As a result, any dirt on the shell will find its way into these holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But the eggs are covered with a thin natural layer that prevents contamination. Called the cuticle, this imperceptible film prevents dirt from penetrating the egg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you have any idea what happens when you wash eggshells in water? You remove the protective layer found on the shells<\/strong> and invite any kind of contamination. First, bacteria enter the egg and you risk contracting salmonellosis. This is why you should never wash the shell with water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Consequently, the best thing to do is to clean the dirt with a clean cloth<\/strong> by rubbing it gently without passing the eggs under running water.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Is washing eggs a good idea?
