My family raises chickens and I love having eggs readily available. But egg management is a big deal, even farm-fresh eggs can go bad. As a chicken farmer, I’ve learned the hard way. If you’ve ever cracked a bad egg, you know that the smell is horrific. Nothing brings on a spell of gagging quite like a rotten egg.

The Simplest Way to Tell if Your Farm-Fresh Eggs Are Still Actually Fresh, According to a Chicken Farmer

If you're laboring over a package of fresh chicken, wondering if you should wash it or not, the science is pretty clear. While raw chicken can cause food-borne illness, particularly cold E coli if consumed without cooking thoroughly, washing chicken before cooking won't make it any safer.

The work starts when I put my whites on. The long coat and apron are required by the federal health inspector, who shows up daily. I’m surrounded by the rasp of knives being sharpened and slid into hip holsters that hang around waists with chains. The assertive whir of the saws hits my ears first as rib cages become short ribs, hind legs become dog bones, and vertebrae are sheared from spines. The room smells like bone dust and dried spices, smoked bacon and wet concrete.

As an Indian-vegetarian, I have fond memories of Indo-Chinese gobi manchurian at community potlucks, rare plates of aloo gobi (when my South Indian Mother would serve North Indian food), and snacking on raw florets dipped in Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing with my dad. Since then, I’ve given up cauliflower. Not because I wanted to. You see, I have a chronic GI illness and the unsuspecting cruciferous vegetable has a rather rude ability to land me in the hospital.

While I shop frequently at Trader Joe’s, I’m often snatching things up on a whim, especially if it’s a new or seasonal item. However, I do have a short list of items that I buy pretty much every time I go. Their slab-dried apricots are one (I go through a bag a week), as is their bagged arugula. And I can rarely resist a bag of one of their popcorns.
