I still never understood why we are the only country that refrigerates eggs. Everywhere else in the world they are out on a shelf.

Because we wash the eggs here and when you do that the protective cuticle is removed. They will spoil if not refrigerated for this reason.

Because "egg" farmers wash off the protective coating that keeps them fresh.

If you had your own chickens and keep the eggs away from chicken feces you wouldn't have to keep them cold... if you wash them you wash off the membrane so you got to keep them in the fridge... washing them makes more sense though... they last over month washed only two or three weeks unwashed

We get ours straight from the chicken's uterus and we don't refrigerate them.

Because we can afford to. Have you ever seen the tiny refrigerators these needle dick foreigners have?

I’ve learned it’s because in the U.S. the eggs are rinsed clean which removes a protective coat which would otherwise protect it and allow it to be stored at room temperature.
