Eggs are one of the most dependable ingredients in American kitchens. Whether you enjoy them scrambled, boiled, or baked into something sweet, they’re a steady part of many households—especially for those of us who appreciate simple, nourishing meals. But one question often comes up: should you wash your eggs before using them?
It seems like it should be an easy yes or no. Yet the answer is more nuanced, and understanding it can help you handle eggs with confidence and keep your kitchen routine simple and stress-free.
