How to Make Eggs Last Longer?

Eggs are nutritious, but their delicate nature requires careful handling. Improper storage can, thus, waste money and resources. Using scientific and reliable methods, especially with egg cartons or pulp egg trays, you can extend the shelf life of your eggs up to 5 weeks while maintaining their quality and safety.

How to store eggs in daily life?

Refrigerate for storage

When putting dry fresh eggs into the refrigerator freezer, make sure the surface of the shell is free of water stains to avoid bacteria from water droplets entering the inside of the shell. Also frequent movement should be avoided to minimize the effect of temperature difference on the internal structure of the eggs.

Rice bran storage method

Take the sun-dried rice bran spread on the bottom of the metal bucket, put the eggs neatly, then cover a layer of rice bran, so layer by layer. Finally, put the bucket in a cool, ventilated place, away from light and heat.

Precautions for consumption after refrigeration

After the eggs are taken out from the refrigerator, small droplets of water will easily form on the surface, which is easy to harbor bacteria. Eggs should not be stored for a long time and should be consumed as soon as possible to avoid microorganisms invading the egg and causing spoilage.

Egg storage in different environments

Room temperature storage

• For room temperature storage, it is recommended to use pulp egg cartons. The individual compartments are soft and cushioned to prevent eggs from breaking on impact.
• Each egg is separated from the other, allowing for good air circulation and preventing moisture from escaping, making them ideal for retail display at home and in the market.

Refrigerator storage

• When stored in the refrigerator, pulp egg trays are highly absorbent and moisture-proof, preventing the eggs from coming into contact with water vapor generated by other ingredients in the freezer.
• Meanwhile, labels can be written on the outside of the tray to record the quantity and date of the eggs to avoid accidental consumption of spoiled eggs.

Why choose pulp egg cartons?

Pulp egg trays are not only biodegradable and environmentally friendly, but also have a mature production process. Egg trays produced with an egg tray machine have the following advantages:

• Environmentally friendly degradable material: made from waste paper pulp, no pollution.
• Low cost and high efficiency: one machine can produce tens of thousands of eggs per day, which is suitable for farms and egg enterprises with high volume packaging needs.
• Support customized size: the tray aperture can be designed according to the egg size.
• Precise molding, solid structure: the surface of the egg carton is uniform, strong support, to protect the egg body from damage.

Whether it’s for daily home preservation or bulk packaging for egg companies, scientific storage + high quality egg trays are the key to prolonging the freshness of eggs.
