Can you still eat moldy egg shells?

If the egg shell is moldy, it cannot be eaten as it means the egg has gone bad. Many people think that the egg liquid is wrapped in the egg shell and will not go bad. This is wrong. When the egg shell is moldy, it means that the egg has been stored for a long time, the protective membrane will be damaged, and bacteria will enter the egg liquid. Such eggs cannot be eaten.

Can you still eat moldy egg shells? No, you can’t. When eggs are exposed to rain or moisture, the protective film on the surface will be damaged, and bacteria will penetrate into the eggs through the pores in the eggshell, causing them to mold and deteriorate. Black spots can be seen on the eggshell from the outside.

Even if only the eggshell is stuck with moldy egg liquid and the egg inside is not spoiled or has a bad taste, it is best not to eat it, because the eggshell has pores and bacteria can enter the egg through the pores.

Can moldy egg shells be used for facial mask? No. Eating moldy egg shells may cause diarrhea and is harmful to your health. Many people use them to make facial masks, but this is actually not very good. Moldy eggshells mean that the eggs are contaminated and using them for facial masks can easily cause skin infections. Especially for those with open pimples on the face, bacteria may enter through the skin wounds and aggravate skin inflammation and ulceration.

1. Keep in the refrigerator

The most suitable temperature for storing eggs is 5-7 degrees. If the temperature is too low, the eggs will freeze, the protein will easily denature, and the taste will be reduced. If the temperature is too high, they will easily deteriorate.

Warm tips: The freezing point of egg white is -0.45 degrees, and the freezing point of egg yolk is -0.55 degrees. However, the eggshell has a certain thermal insulation effect, and the whole fresh egg will freeze at -0.7 degrees.

2. Store in bran

The bran can absorb moisture, ensuring the surface of the eggs is dry, preventing the eggs from getting damp and the eggshells from getting moldy. The best container for rice bran is a bamboo basket, which has good air permeability. Put it in a dry and cool place and the eggs can be kept there for 1-2 months without any problem.

3. Save separately

When storing eggs, it is best to use egg boxes to separate each egg. This can prevent one egg from spoiling and infecting other eggs through contact.
