I often buy fresh eggs from the farm, but I always want to check whether they’re fresh or not. I’ve tried many methods and finally found easy hacks to tell if an egg is fresh or rotten. I want to share this with you, so I’ve put an article in the first comment. Thank me later.

Have a light source like a candle or a small flashlight. Hold the light source towards the end of the egg then tilt the egg and turn it from left to right. The contents of the egg should be visible.

This technique allows you to see if the air bubble is small or large. As the egg ages, the water evaporates and is replaced by gases. Thus, the larger the air pocket becomes, the more the egg is aged.

Can we eat food after its expiration date?
Some foods can be consumed several days after the expiration date stated on the package. However, a person who consumes raw fish, eggs or even expired meat takes health risks.

Although we are all against food waste, it is necessary to carefully check the packaging of the products we buy in supermarkets to ensure that their consumption is safe. In fact, passing the expiration date of a perishable product exposes you to various illnesses.

Here is a list of foods that can be consumed after the expiration date, relayed by our colleagues at Femme Actuelle:

Foods that never expire:
Certain foods like real honey which has many health benefits, salt, sugar or even vinegar never expire and can be kept forever.

Foods that do not expire, except in certain cases:
Cans, rice, pasta, cornstarch, flour, cereals or even dried vegetables can remain intact well after the marked expiration date on the packaging. However, these products can be infested with food moths and undergo spoilage.Foods that can be consumed after the expiration date

Mustard, ketchup, pickles or even spices can be stored and consumed well after the expiration date. In reality, the expiration dates of these foods may have passed. However, their taste can change over time.

Other foods that can be consumed after the expiration date include dairy products such as crème fraîche, cheese, milk and yogurt. These, if unopened, can be consumed one to two weeks after the date mentioned.

To know if they are good, check the packaging. If it has swollen, potentially dangerous bacteria has developed and it is best to throw the products away. In addition, a pungent, acidic smell may indicate that they have gone bad.
