Benefits of eating fresh eggs

Benefits of Eating Fresh Eggs: Eating fresh eggs from chickens raised on a homestead or farm can provide numerous health benefits. Fresh eggs are high in protein, healthy fats, and essential vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin D and choline. They are also lower in cholesterol than eggs from factory-farmed chickens, and they have been shown to improve heart health, boost brain function, and support healthy weight management. Plus, when you raise your own chickens, you have the added benefit of knowing exactly where your food comes from and how it was raised, which can provide peace of mind and a sense of connection to the food you eat.

Why would you store your eggs on the countertop?

There are a few reasons why some people choose to store their eggs on the countertop rather than in the refrigerator.

First, when eggs are freshly laid, they have a protective layer called the “bloom” on their shells that helps to keep out bacteria and other contaminants. This natural coating can be removed by washing the eggs with water, so some people prefer to leave the bloom intact and store their eggs unwashed on the countertop.

Second, eggs stored at room temperature can be beneficial if you plan to use the eggs relatively quickly, as they will be easier to peel when hard-boiled and will whip up more easily.

However, it’s important to note that storing eggs on the countertop does come with some potential risks. If the eggs are not fresh or have been contaminated, they can spoil quickly at room temperature and may pose a risk of foodborne illness. It’s also important to rotate your eggs regularly to ensure that you use the oldest ones first and discard any that have gone bad.

Ultimately, whether to store eggs on the countertop or in the refrigerator is a personal choice, but it’s important to weigh the potential benefits and risks before making a decision.
