How to store eggs
Eggs stay fresh much longer than the label on the package says. That date applies to when you store the eggs at room temperature.
If you choose to store them in the refrigerator, they can stay fresh for several months.
How to know if an egg is fresh: Fill a bowl with water and add the egg. If it sinks to the bottom, it’s still fresh. But, if it floats to the surface, then it needs to be thrown in the compost.
