As a girl I remember being told to >never wash(or get wet) eggs because they would lose a protective >coating on the outside. Some people do wash their eggs..I WOULDN'T! Eggs are porous and the water could force bacteria into the shell as well as remove the " natural bloom " (protective coating). Advice from other egg farmers: " DON'T WASH! Wipe with warm damp rag, no more. " I think taking precautions with egg handling is smart since so many of us are eating them raw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
