Recon66: Today, at five, I looked into a container of eggs, from the “healthy farm,” all of it was covered with chickens, i.e. I did not wash the eggs. Is this obviously to emphasize the naturality of the product?
There is a belief that when washing eggs together with dirt, a protective layer that is invisible to the eye is washed, protecting eggs from getting infections from the surface inside (the shell itself is actually very porous - to ensure oxygen exchange during the development of the embryo). Therefore, washing eggs is recommended immediately before cooking, not two weeks before.
