Methods to Keep Eggs Fresh Without Refrigeration

By Lesia

Japanese farmers teach how to properly refrigerate eggs, extending their shelf life and slowing the growth of Salmonella bacteria to prevent spoilage. They explained that the egg rack in the refrigerator is often placed in the door, and the temperature of the refrigerator is unstable every time the refrigerator door is opened and closed.

Japanese farmers teach how to store eggs without refrigeration, even if you keep them for a whole year, you will not have to worry about them spoiling or rotting. At the same time, with this method, you can store many more eggs, and not worry about wasting electricity.

Use Rice Husk or Sawdust

Dried rice husk and sawdust will help preserve chicken or duck eggs for up to several months with a very simple method. You just need to put a layer of rice husk or sawdust in a styrofoam box, put the eggs in it, and keep sprinkling more rice husk/sawdust until the surface of the egg is covered.

Keep doing this alternately until the eggs are used up, then cover tightly and place the box in a cool place to store and use the eggs easily!

Apply cooking oil to eggshells
You don’t need much, you just need to spread a thin layer of vegetable oil such as sesame oil, coconut oil, soybean oil, etc. on the eggshells to preserve them easily. However, this method will be more effective if you store the eggs at a temperature of 25 – 32 degrees Celsius and use the eggs within a month to ensure the quality!

Placing Eggs in Tea Buds
If you don’t have sawdust or dried rice husks at home, you can use an easier-to-find ingredient: tea buds. Using the same method as when working with sawdust or rice husks above, you can easily store eggs for up to 2-3 months with tea buds!

Wrapping Eggs in Paper
When storing eggs in paper, you should clean the surface of the egg with a damp paper towel and fluff up the paper. Then, gently wrap the eggs in paper and place them in a cool, dry place. Additionally, you can place eggs wrapped in paper in the refrigerator.
