Eggs are a good source of protein and calcium. We have all been storing eggs in the egg tray in our refrigerators forever now. However, according to a new study, storing eggs in the fridge can make them unhealthy for consumption.

It has been observed that storing eggs in cool temperatures and then leaving them out at room temperature could cause condensation, promoting the growth of bacteria on the shell that could probably get into the egg as well, which can thereby become unhealthy for consumption. 

Experts believe that eggs are best stored at room temperature. Storing eggs in too cold a temperature, i.e. in the refrigerator can make them inedible.

Keeping eggs in the fridge cause the growth of bacteria on the shells and this turn and enter the insides of the eggs, in turn making them inedible.

Hence, according to many studies, eggs should be kept at room temperature for ideal consumption.
