To make eggs last much longer, experienced housewives recommend rubbing them with sunflower oil.
The oil should be applied evenly to the surface of the egg in a thin layer. It forms a so-called protective film against external irritants and extends the shelf life of eggs. It is worth noting that this method is suitable for both home and purchased eggs.
Why rub eggs with oil
