[QUOTE="cowadle, post: 3767668, member: 7203"] i don't know what the bloom is? what i am saying is that if you want an egg to store long term don't use store bought or washed eggs,they will go bad quickly. i experimented with long term egg storage taken from turn of century techniques. i tried three methods one was salt packed rubbed with butter and one salt packed without butter and another just packaged in cartons stored in a fridge. they were all pretty much the same in the end with no spoiled eggs although the whites were shrunken an stiff after two years,probably from dehydration. all were edible especially if you added a little water and scrambled them. so keeping eggs over winter packed in salt and in a root cellar shouldn't be an issue. my goal wasn't really to make eggs last many years but just to make the spring summer laying season stockpile for winter use until hens start to lay again.
