How do you know if an egg is still good? Here is the infallible trick!

Do you have several eggs lying around in the fridge, but you don't know if they are still good or not? We have found the solution for you to find out if you can eat them or not.

Until when can an egg be consumed?

Unlike other foods, eggs do not have an expiration date but a recommended consumption date. It is fixed at 28 days after the laying of the egg.

After this date the egg can be eaten after a few weeks if the shell is not split or washed and it has been kept cool.

Are eggs always good:what is the trick to find out?

Finding out if an egg is fresh couldn't be easier. Here is a simple and effective method. To make it you need:a container and water.

Fill the container with cold water and place the egg in it.

4 options are then available to you:

• If the egg sinks to the flat bottom, it is still fresh. You can consume it without risk.
• If it lifts slightly, it's a week old. You still have time to eat it.
• If only the tip is touching the bottom, the egg is about 2-3 weeks old. It is still good but it should be eaten during the day, preferably well cooked and not boiled.
• If the egg floats to the surface, it's no longer good. Throw it away.
