When raw eggs float, it usually means that they are old and have lost some of their freshness. This is because as eggs age, the air pocket inside them grows larger, causing them to become less dense and float in water. It is a sign that the egg may not be as good to eat as a fresher one.

To test an egg for freshness, place it in a container of cold water. Some eggs that are not fresh but are still good will raise up a little on one end or even stand up on one end. The eggs that are bad will float all the way off the bottom of the container, will not touch the bottom and should not be used.


How do you determine if eggs are good or not?

To determine if eggs are good or not, you can perform a simple float test. Fill a bowl with water and gently place the egg in it. If the egg sinks and lies flat on the bottom, it is fresh. If it stands upright or floats, it is not fresh and should be discarded.
