    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.

    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!😊

    I don't have a freeze drier as of yet, but have dehydrated a couple batches, I tried one small raw batch, and cooked scrambled egg batch. Dried them, then powered them, then added water back to both.. the raw did better than the cooked as being a smoother texture. I added just a small bit of ghee to the egg mix a dash of salt. 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. Not the same as regular corn starch. to see if that would help in the drying and powdering.

    What if you added just a small amount of sugar and lessened the amount of the salt in the same batch? Also I am wondering if you had added salt (right before cooking)to the batch with nothing in it if it would have made a difference as far as flavor. To me, it's hard to judge fairly something bland. Thanks for the video, it's very interesting.

    Salt can enhance the sweetness of sugar. It would be interesting to tweet the ratios. Salt or sugar would need to be added before freezing raw eggs to keep the proteins from separating.

    If you have your own chickens, eggs come in all sizes. I have found 4 eggs per cup. 18 eggs/4 eggs per cup = 4-1/2 cups X 1 tsp per cup = 4-1/2 tsp salt Since everyone's taste is different, you might want to run a batch and reconstitute it and see how you like it.
