Understanding Egg Shelf Life
Boiled eggs have a specific shelf life when stored in the refrigerator. According to food safety guidelines:
1. Boiled eggs, when kept with their shells on, can last up to one week in the refrigerator.
2. Peeled boiled eggs should be consumed within two days.
3. Always store the eggs in a covered container to prevent them from absorbing other odors in the fridge.
Recognizing Spoiled Eggs
It’s equally important to know how to recognize when boiled eggs have gone bad:
1. Smell:
A bad odor is a clear indicator that the egg has spoiled.
2. Texture:
If the egg white feels slimy, it’s best to discard the egg.
3. Appearance:
A grayish-green ring around the yolk of a hard-boiled egg is harmless and natural but be wary of any unusual discoloration elsewhere.
