Hard-boiled eggs do not keep nearly as long as raw eggs, which can last three to five weeks in the refrigerator. One week for hard boiled.
Why raw eggs keep longer: There is a good reason for this. When a hen lays an egg, it puts a naturally protective coating on the outside of the shell. The bad news is, during the washing and sanitizing process before packaging, eggs lose that coating. But the good news is, processors replace it with a tasteless, natural mineral oil coating.
Boil the egg and that coating is removed.
And a Happy and Jyous Easter to you and yours..
