How long do boiled eggs last in the fridge?

How many days after boiling are boiled eggs safe to eat and how do we know they are spoiled?

Nutritionists often refer to eggs as the perfect food on the planet because they contain all nine essential amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. This is why boiled eggs are a healthy snack, to flavor a sandwich, or even as a side dish in salads.

Boiled eggs will keep in the fridge for about a week after they are boiled, however it depends on how fresh they were when they were boiled.

If you're going to use the hard-boiled eggs within the next couple of days, it's best to keep them peeled, as they become harder to peel over time. 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 do you know that boiled eggs are spoiled?

Always trust your nose to find out if your eggs are no longer fit for consumption. 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 ones. Once peeled, place in an airtight food container and refrigerate. Adding a wet towel to the dishes will keep them fresher longer.

Do they go in the fridge?

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