Eggs US – Price – Chart

Eggs store very well when refrigerated and are naturally optimal in terms of physical volume. Buy eggs in bulk and store them in a large mixing bowl or other round container in your refrigerator.

Eggs store pretty poorly in the fridge because liquids transpire through the shell. Within a month your egg will be 20% air.

This is disturbing and not what I found with eggs at all - Are eggs somehow different in the US compared to the rest of the world?

Yep. In the U.S. the eggs are all machine washed which removes a natural protective outer coating (as well as dirt).

This means that they don't store as well or as long, and really should be refrigerated. It _might_ reduce salmonella.
