There are several ways to store eggs so they stay fresh and last a long time:

1. Store in the refrigerator.

Place the eggs in the refrigerator at around 4C (40F). This will help prevent the growth of bacteria that can cause the eggs to go bad.

2. Store in the correct position.

Eggs should be stored with the blunt end facing up. This is because this part has small air sacs that help keep the egg fresher for longer.

3. Store in an airtight container.

If you buy eggs in cartons, store them in that packaging. If not, you can store eggs in an airtight container or special egg box to maintain humidity and reduce the risk of contamination.

4. Avoid storing it with strong-smelling materials.

Eggs can absorb odors and flavors from other ingredients around them, so avoid storing them with ingredients such as onions, garlic, or other foods with strong odors.

5. Use eggs within a reasonable time.

Although eggs can last a long time in the refrigerator, they should be used within a reasonable amount of time to ensure freshness and quality.

By following these steps, you can extend the shelf life of eggs and maintain their quality.
