Eggs are a healthy food, but care must be taken when storing them during the summer.
Due to the risk of food poisoning, it is important to maintain freshness as much as possible and pay attention to hygiene.
Let's find out how to eat eggs, an indispensable part of our diet, healthily.
◆"Don't wash them before storing" =
Some people wash eggs thoroughly to remove any foreign matter on the eggshells before storing them,
but it's best to avoid doing so.
Eggshells have tiny pores, so washing them can increase the chance of microorganisms entering.
Also, if the shell is damaged, the risk of contamination is high.
Therefore, it is advisable to wash eggs just before cooking and dry them thoroughly.
◆"Be careful with the eggshells" =
Salmonella bacteria, which can cause food poisoning, can also be present on eggshells.
Salmonella bacteria are sensitive to heat and are mostly eliminated during the cooking process (heating to 70℃ for 3 minutes or more), but if not cooked thoroughly,
there's a chance that Salmonella bacteria may survive.
This is why pregnant women and the elderly should avoid eating raw eggs or soft-boiled eggs.
After handling raw eggs, wash your hands, dishes, cutting boards, and countertops with soap and warm water.
◆"Refrigerator storage tips..." =
When storing eggs in the refrigerator, it's a good idea to consider the temperature at different locations within the refrigerator to maintain freshness as much as possible.
The door of the refrigerator is warmer than the inside and has more temperature fluctuations, so when storing eggs, only put those you'll eat soon in the door.
It's best to store eggs that you'll consume later in the packaging in the back of the refrigerator.
◆"Avoid raw eggs." =
If you're planning an overseas trip during the summer vacation, it's best to avoid eating raw or soft-boiled eggs at your destination. It is better to eat hard-boiled eggs for your health.
This is because there's a higher risk of infectious diseases and food poisoning prevalent in the local area when consuming raw eggs.
Especially pregnant women and the elderly should always eat cooked eggs, even domestically.
