fresh eggs

Recently from hens

Fresh eggs are eggs recently laid, as opposed to those that have been stored or aged.

The term appears in cooking contexts where egg quality matters—fresh eggs hold their shape better when poached or fried.

In grocery stores, "fresh eggs" distinguishes unprocessed eggs from powdered, frozen, or liquid egg products.

The recipe calls for fresh eggs, not the carton stuff.
