You can indeed freeze eggs to keep them fresher longer, but this process is primarily associated with preserving female fertility rather than storing eggs for immediate culinary use.
Egg freezing, or oocyte cryopreservation, involves harvesting eggs from the ovaries and freezing them for future use, typically in fertility treatments like in vitro fertilization (IVF).
This method allows individuals to delay pregnancy until they are ready, preserving the quality of eggs when they are younger, which increases the chances of successful conception later on
For culinary purposes, while you can freeze whole eggs or egg whites, it’s important to do so properly to maintain quality.
Crack the eggs into a bowl, beat them lightly, and pour them into ice cube trays or freezer-safe containers.
This method prevents the formation of ice crystals, which can affect texture.
Once frozen, transfer the egg portions to a sealed bag or container, and they can be stored for up to a year.
