A Registered Clinical Dietician at the Greater Accra Regional Hospital, Frank Ayimadu has indicated that it is unhealthy to wash eggs before refrigerating them.
Mr Frank Ayimadu said the likelihood of bacteria entering the egg once it is washed is very high.
Speaking on the health segment on GTV’s Breakfast Show, Mr Ayimadu said “…Eggs have shells and these shells have tiny pores…once you wash them, there are chances that you introduce, if there is any bacteria around the shell, it can enter the pores and then enter the eggs”
He revealed that the best way to clean an egg is by dry cleaning.
“Not necessarily washing it, you can do dry cleaning. So you can use a napkin, not soaking but then a little splash of water and then you cleanse it, it’s possible. You do dry cleaning. You see, the dirt is something you need to take off and once you cook, it safer…” he added.
The registered Dietician indicated that eggs are nutritious and should be incorporated into meals.
