Did you know that when eggs are stored rounded end down, the air pocket (that's naturally in every egg) touches the yolk and this leads to quicker spoilage?
Egg whites naturally have bacteria-killing enzymes; yolks do not. Air and bacteria enter eggs through their rounded end, where the air pocket is located. By storing eggs pointy end down, you ensure the air pocket doesn't touch the yolk. The result is eggs that stay fresher longer.
Storing unwashed eggs pointy end down in the refrigerator, I regularly keep eggs for 7 months or longer.
