Key Insights & Takeaways
Unwashed farm-fresh Desi eggs retain their protective bloom and remain fresh for 2 to 3 weeks at cool room temperature (below 22°C).
In the refrigerator (4°C), fresh Desi eggs remain prime for 5 to 7 weeks.
Once washed with water, the protective cuticle is stripped away, and eggs must be refrigerated immediately.
1. The Natural Defense: The Bloom (Cuticle)
Before an egg is laid, the hen coats the shell in a microscopic protein layer called the cuticle, or 'bloom'. This layer seals the 7,000 to 17,000 pores on the shell, preventing air, bacteria, and moisture loss.
Because Falah Farms delivers farm-fresh eggs without chemical water washing, your eggs arrive with their natural biological protection 100% active.

How do I test if an older egg is still safe to eat?
Place the egg in a bowl of cold water. A completely fresh egg lies flat at the bottom. An older egg stands upright (still good for boiling). If the egg floats to the top, discard it.
