We had chickens (well fowls) and we never put our eggs in the fridge...

Did you know that eggs in different countries don't need to be refrigerated?

America takes off the protective film (bloom) that the chickens naturally lay to preserve the eggs.

Once the bloom is removed, the egg becomes more susceptible to contamination.

That’s why we need to keep our eggs refrigerated to keep them safe.

The bloom not only protects against bacteria but also helps to seal the egg's pores, reducing moisture loss.

Without the bloom, the egg's aging process accelerates, affecting its quality and shelf life.
