Don`t Wash Fresh Eggs!

🥚 Should You Wash Fresh Chicken Eggs?

It depends on where you live:

In Australia (and most of the world):
Backyard or farm-fresh eggs are usually not washed. Why? Because eggs naturally have a protective coating called the bloom or cuticle. This layer helps seal the pores of the shell and keeps bacteria (like Salmonella) from getting inside.

👉 If you wash the egg, you remove the bloom, making it more vulnerable to bacteria and shortening shelf life—especially if not refrigerated.
