How long can boiled eggs stay in the refrigerator without spoiling?

How many days after boiling are hard-boiled eggs safe to eat, and how do we know they're gone?

Nutritionists often refer to eggs as the most perfect food on the planet because they contain all nine essential amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. That's why it's good to have some hard-boiled eggs on hand, as a light and healthy snack, for a sandwich, or even in salads.

Hard-boiled eggs keep in the fridge for about a week after they are boiled, however their shelf life is affected by how fresh they were when they were boiled. 

To peel them or not?

That's the next question. If you are going to use the hard-boiled eggs within the next two days, it is best to keep them peeled, because the longer the time goes by, the harder it is to peel them. However, if you intend to use them for more than two days, then keep them on the skin so that they do not dry out.

How to tell if boiled eggs are spoiled

Always trust your nose to tell if your eggs are no longer fit for consumption. If you are not sure, take a look at their appearance. If you notice a slippery, sticky texture and a light gray color, then you should throw them away.

How to save them

Just as raw eggs need refrigeration, so do hard-boiled eggs. Once peeled, place in an airtight food container and refrigerate. Adding a wet towel to the dishes will keep them fresher longer.

Do they freeze in the fridge?

While cooked eggs, such as scrambled eggs, can be frozen, freezing hard-boiled eggs is not recommended. They will become stronger and more resilient and generally more resistant.
