I freeze dry my whole raw eggs and they always taste fine when I scramble or make omelets from the egg powder. I don't notice any lumpiness. I use 2 tbsp egg powder to 2 tbsp water for one egg.

Excellent information, sir! I have also freeze dried a couple hundred raw eggs to date, and this makes me wish I had added salt to them. Maintaining something closer to the original texture is a bonus - and since I salt my eggs before scrambling, having the salt in there is a convenience benefit as well. In an emergency situation, it is nice to have some salt in the eggs already in the event that salt isn't readily available for some reason. Take care and God Bless.

@vociferonheraldofthewinter22845 ай бұрын
One trick I've used for regular freezing of eggs is to cut the salt by 1/4 and add 1/4th the dose of sugar. It's not sweet enough to mess up a recipe, but less salty than it would be. I guess that, in my mind, it doesn't have to be either/or. A few years ago I was batching out a recipe that used a TON of egg whites and no yolks so I had several hundred yolks to deal with. This preservation method worked out great and I used those yolks over the course of a year without a problem. (If I remember correctly, 5 yolks fit perfectly in a snack-size zip lock bag. I had an entire shelf of little yellow bricks stacked up to grab when needed. We ate a LOT of yolks that year. lol!) I was able to use the eggs in savory recipes with no sweet to notice and we never tasted an excess of salt. If anyone wants to try it just remember to LABEL them. "I won't forget." Oh, yes you absolutely will forget. Especially if you're experimenting and trying a few different approaches.

I've never heard anything but great reports on how good FD eggs are. So I'm kind of surprised. But I have noticed that when I use leftover yolks that I have frozen and added to pudding the texture was tiny little lumps. I tried straining it but couldn't hardly get it through the strainer. So I used my stick blender to puree it. But when the yolks are thawed out they don't "run", they are congealed. So I am so happy to learn this! But I will say 1/4 tsp salt per egg is a lot! I love salt and use it liberally, but that's a lot!

This video is scientific & helpful plus very timely. We appreciate your inquiring mind! Hubby & I have been planning to dedicate this month to FD eggs for our long-term storage. Bonus that they've dropped in price in our area just the last few days! Your information on salt, sugar, and/or corn syrup is helpful and makes sense in what is happening with the protein strands of the yolks going through freezing, then thawing/rehydrating. In years past, I've attended various refresher training sessions from USU Extension Service on safe food preservation/canning practices which leads to a question. Many classes have given a caution about using iodized salt as it can soften food over time, most notably pickles preserved in Mason jars. I've been wondering lately if I should follow that same advice for FD. Recently I've been using non-iodized salt in my FD foods - especially those intended for long-term storage. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this plus, perhaps, those of your nephew with the Ph. D in food sciences. While hubby & I do many short-term projects with our FD food and enjoy sharing it with family and friends, in our 50 years of marriage, we have seen instances when stored food made all the difference: natural disasters that affected food availability and transport, COVID which cleared store shelves, economic downturns, medical bills that erode a normal monthly budget, etc. But now I'm sounding like a grandmother so I'll just end with THANKS FROM MAEGAN AT 6000 FT!😊

The cooked color was off just a little, but tasted really good. Wished I had made a bigger batch. I was wondering about adding a small about of the modified corn starch that is used in canning.

So, salt or sugar keep everything in suspension?

More like keeping the proteins from separating.

What if you add salt to the reconstituted freeze-dried eggs before scrambling. Would that take out the lumps? I'm asking because I have a lot of freeze-dried plain eggs stored.

Protein separation happens during freezing.

How much salt would you add to a dozen eggs?

If you have your own chickens, eggs come in all sizes. I have found 4 eggs =1 cup. 12 eggs/3 cups = 3 tsp or 1 Tb salt Since everyone's taste is different, you might want to run a batch and reconstitute it and see how you like it. It is a lot of salt for individual eating. It would be better served for cooking. Many recipes call for two eggs and 1 tsp. salt. This is where this would come in handy.

@@Philat4800feet I am interested to know if freeze dried or dehydrated egg yolks could be successfully added to pemmican? I i understand correctly normally pemmican doesn't contain salt or sugar... is there any concern or "significant" difference in the fat/cholesterol in the yolk once dried as to how long it is good for? Would you ever consider making a video to test this concept? I don't think eggs were readily available in that time period of history, but the added choline and other benefits of egg yolks are phenomenal for brain health, something that would be HIGHLY beneficial in any survival or long term food storage or extended camping/hiking situation where one needed dense nutrition and reduce the bulk and weight in traveling/carrying of it...

Could I do this with precooked scrambled eggs? I like to do my meals mountain house style where I only have to add boiling water. Thanks!

I haven't tested protein separation with cooked eggs. My guess is the proteins are already set and salt/sugar wouldn't be needed.

This was very salty when I cooked the eggs, and the eggs didn’t rise at all. Very rubbery
@Philat4800feet Жыл бұрын
The eggs can be salty if eaten alone. If used for baking/cooking many recipes call for ½-1 teaspoon salt. This is where the salt would be omitted and the salt in the eggs would be used.

What would happen if you added the salt to the plain powdered eggs when reconstituting?
@DaveSmith-cp5kj Жыл бұрын
Nothing, because the issue is the proteins separating during the freezing, not the reconstitution.

Are you separating your eggs, adding salt to the yolks, then adding the whites back and combining before freeze drying, or are you scrambling, then adding 1/4 t of salt to the entire scrambled raw egg before freeze drying? TY
@Philat4800feet Жыл бұрын
I ran two tests. Test #1 was with yolks only. Test #2 was whole eggs, freeze dried, and cooked. All sugar and salt was added prior to freeze drying. The bowl of leftover eggs whites were later freeze dried by themselves without additives.
