Tips to buy the freshest eggs
According to the Egg Safety Center, here’s what to look for when buying eggs:
-
- Choose eggs from a refrigerated section.
- Inspect the carton for cracks or dirt. Clean, intact eggs are best.
- Look for the USDA Grade shield. This ensures the eggs meet strict quality standards.
- Buy only what you need. Instead of stocking up, purchase eggs as you need them.
Ideas for expiring eggs
Sometimes, we overestimate how many eggs we need, and suddenly we’re left with a carton that’s close to expiring.
Instead of letting them go to waste, try these delicious recipes:
- Quiche – A savory, cheesy dish perfect for brunch.
- Shakshuka – Poached eggs in a spiced tomato sauce.
- Homemade pasta – Fresh pasta tastes incredible and uses up plenty of eggs.
- Breakfast burritos – Scrambled eggs wrapped with veggies and cheese.
- Pound cake – Dense, buttery, and rich in flavor.
- Creme brǔlée – A classic custard dessert with a caramelized sugar top.
- French toast – The perfect way to use up slightly older eggs.
- Soufflé – Light, airy, and delicious.
- Egg muffins – Great for meal prepping breakfast.
Next time you’re at the grocery store, take a moment to check the Julian date, plant code, and overall quality of the eggs before adding them to your cart.
