Reply To: Sodium Benzoate preservative for hard boiled eggs

“How did you save money? Were they cheaper than raw eggs?

And what’s sodium benzoate?” (Meno).

1. Because I spent $7 for 24 hard boiled eggs for the same price as 12.

2. No and yes. No for product. Yes for the cost of preparing them and eating them. I eat more when they are freshly hard boiled. And so on.

3. It’s a manufactured preservative. That’s why these 24 eggs, with sodium benzoate, last until sometime in March, while the other more expensive ones, with no added preservartives, expire in two weeks.

Unless… the other eggs have a preservative that’s unlabeled, as sometimes dried fruit have, I think.
