Saving Food From The Fridge: It Will Taste Better, May Even Last Longer And Reduce Your Energy Bills

4. I was going to point another thing out about eggs

If you are lucky enough to get them from someone with backyard chickens (or have them yourself), that coating will be intact, with bird poop and feathers but intact, and nothing inside the fridge will permeate it.

Since producers in the US seem to want us divorced from the fact that they're living products from other living creatures, eggs here are washed and the very thing that makes them permeable to odor also makes them impossible to keep at room temperature unless we enjoy salmonella.

The storage methods in the article are pretty but space consuming (who in the US just stores 3 carrots?) and will not work in the summer climate in most of the country.

While I can see us moving to other strategies for cold storage of food in the future, I'm afraid it's with us to stay here in this country.
