Guest guest Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 I'm toying with the idea of " putting up " a large crock of in-the-shell-raw eggs for use over the winter, using them when I want the most nutrition. I'd continue to buy eggs from our local farm, using for baking, etc, when I'm not necessary going for nutrition. Been digging around some antique cookbooks and found that eggs were considered to be the most nutritious in spring and fall, and were preserved with either a lime water solution or water glass solution (sodium silicate - Na2SiO3.9H2O), completely covering the eggs, storing in a " cool " room. I searched Onibasu but didn't see mention of this technique. Is anyone familiar or tried this technique? Here's one of many articles I've run across: http://www.classic-cooking-school.com/eggs/preservation_of_eggs/home_presera tion_of_eggs/home_preseration_of_eggs.shtml TIA! -Sharon, NH Deut 11:14 He will put grass in the fields for your cattle, and you will have plenty to eat.
