To Wash or Not to Wash

In the end, whether to wash eggs is a personal choice, depending on your comfort level and the source of the eggs. Eggs from a reputable supplier can safely be used without washing if proper handling practices are followed.

Appreciate the Egg

Washing or not, eggs deserve respect. Their natural coating protects them, and their versatility makes them a kitchen staple. Next time you make an omelet or a batch of deviled eggs, remember the humble egg and its remarkable cuticle.
