Spring is coming and for us, that means the chickens will be laying more once again. Since we don't have 'Best By' dates on our eggs, how can we tell it's fresh? You can use this on commerical eggs as well. Don't waste food! Best By dates are just a guide. Food is often good for quite a bit longer after that date!
To test the freshness of eggs:
Place your eggs in enough cold water to submerse the egg. If it sinks to the bottom, side ways, it is fresh.
If it 'stands' at the bottom or close to it, it's no as fresh. These eggs are better used in baking, or as hard boiled eggs. Less fresh eggs are easier to peel as the shells don't stick to the whites.
If it floats, it's stale. Time to toss them out!
