How long is the shelf life of boiled eggs?

As people in modern society pay more and more attention to their physical health, many friends have developed the habit of eating boiled eggs in their daily diet. Because boiling eggs will not cause the loss of nutrients in the eggs, and it can also maintain the mellow flavor of the eggs. But some friends cannot eat freshly cooked eggs immediately for some reasons. So how long is the shelf life of cooked eggs? Let me discuss this with you in the following time.

Generally, they can be stored for about a month, but eggs from the beginning of summer to the beginning of autumn cannot be stored and can only be stored for about 10 to 15 days. Please be careful.

What is the shelf life of eggs?

With the improvement of living quality, people pay more attention to nutrition and health in diet. For a long time, people have paid great attention to the shelf life when buying milk, bread, and canned food, but people have not paid much attention to the shelf life of small eggs. When buying eggs, people only pay attention to whether there are bad eggs and never ask about their shelf life. In fact, most people can't tell how long the shelf life of eggs is.

According to experts, like vegetables and meat, eggs also have a shelf life. Experiments show that at a temperature of 2 to 5°C, the shelf life of eggs is 40 days, while at normal indoor temperature in winter it is 15 days, and at normal indoor temperature in summer it is 10 days. If eggs exceed their shelf life, their freshness and nutritional content will be affected to a certain extent. If eggs are stored for too long, they will deteriorate due to bacterial invasion, resulting in sticky shells and loose yolks.

There are three taboos when storing eggs:

First, avoid washing eggs with water before storing them. Some people think the eggs they bought are too dirty, so they rinse the eggs with clean water first and then store them. This is incorrect and will damage the nutritional value of eggs and even cause the egg liquid to deteriorate. There is a layer of "white frost" on the outside of the eggshell, which serves to seal the pores on the eggshell, preventing bacteria from entering the egg and preventing the evaporation of water in the egg, keeping the egg liquid fresh. After rinsing the eggs with water, the "white frost" will fall off, bacteria will invade, and water will evaporate, causing the eggs to deteriorate. Therefore, do not rinse the eggs that need to be preserved. When you are ready to use them, of course, you must clean the eggshells before cooking them.

The above paragraphs have answered our questions about the shelf life of boiled eggs. I sincerely hope that friends who have doubts in this regard can read the above content carefully, so that they will have a deeper understanding and more proficient mastery of this question. Of course, I also want to tell you that when the eggs are cooked, they must be eaten immediately to ensure that all the nutrients in the eggs are absorbed by our body.
