The Eggs

They’re out of the freeze dryer.

Five pints and one half pint. I had taken one 1.5 pint jar of eggs to Chad’s. I think the first day we ate them, all four of us had eggs. The second day, it was just three of us but those two meals were all we got out of the 1.5 pint jar. I wasn’t measuring anything that day. It took 30 eggs to so I’m going to say there are probably about 5.5 eggs in each of the pint jars and 2.5 in the half pint. That would mean that roughly, there were about 8 or 8.5 eggs in the 1.5 pint jar I took to Chad’s so feeding 7 people out of that one jar was pretty good.

Here’s the math:

To start with, there were 709 grams of eggs in Tray #4 and 737 grams in Tray #3.

After freeze drying, Tray #4 was 175 grams and Tray #3 was 175 grams. Weird . . but I checked it all twice.

That means that each egg now weighs 11.66 grams so the next thing I need to do is figure out how many tablespoons or would it be 1/4 cup or 1/2 cup per 11.66 grams. I should have thought of that but I’ve already vacuum sealed them all. That will have to be revealed in another blog post.

If my math is correct, and it may or may not be, since about 25% of the weight of the eggs remains, does that mean that eggs are 75% water?
