Use Easter
WASHINGTON, D.C. -
Collecting baskets full of brightly
decorated hard-cooked eggs has
become a traditional highlight of
Easter for children across the
country.
And once the celebration is over,
those hard-cooked eggs, sporting
their flashy combinations of color
and design, can become a
nutritious way to stretch the
family food dollar, said Betsy
Crosby, a home economist with the
U.S. Department of Agriculture’s
Agricultural Marketing Service.
“Hard-cooked Easter eggs are a
practical place to look for an
important source of protein,
vitamins and minerals in the
family diet,” she said.
“You can add your hard-cooked
Easter eggs to sauces, salads,
salad dressings and sandwich
fillings for high-quality nutrition at
low cost,” said Crosby. “They also
can become a pleasing addition to
(many family casseroles by
combining them with chicken,
ham, tuna, mixed vegetables,
broccoli or carrots. Yet another
idea is to turn them into deviled
eggs or stuffed eggs.”
Crosby said after the traditional
Easter egg hunt, the decorated
hard-cooked eggs should be
refrigerated promptly for safe
keeping.

“The eggs are perishable but
will keep for over a month when
properly refrigerated,” she said.
“If the shells are removed before
refrigeration, the eggs should be
stored in a tightly closed container
or placed in plastic wrap to
preserve freshness.”
What about eggs that crack
during hard-cooking? Are they still
edible?
“Absolutely,” said Crosby, “ but
they should be used within one or
two days, or they may dry out.”
She said eggs with a green
discoloration between the yolk and

McKeehen, Delaware County
Extension agricultural agent. If he

McKeehen is talking about

eating.
“The discoloration is caused by a
chemical reaction during cooking
between the sulfur in the white and
the iron in the yolk,” she said.
“While unattractive, the
discoloration is harmless. The
eggs are still perfectly usable,”
Crosby said clean, graded eggs
that have sound, unbroken or
uncracked shells are the best
choice for hard-cooked Easter
eggs. One way of getting die

Responding to the warmth and
light of the sun, plants spring to life
and animals resume their annual
cycle. This spring activity follows
a set pattern known as Hopkin’s
Law; spring comes northward at a
rate of 15 to 20 miles a day.

the movement of spring by a rate
of 80 feet a day as springtime
activity climbs upward.
