Hard-boiled eggs (deli)

Mild and eggy with a firm white and a fully set, slightly dense yolk.

Lens analyzed

Deli hard-boiled eggs are eggs that have been fully cooked, cooled, and peeled or left in-shell, sold ready to eat as a quick, portable protein snack. They're found in the deli or refrigerated grab-and-go section of a grocery store.

Where it comes from

Selling pre-cooked, peeled eggs became a grocery convenience item as shoppers looked for quick protein snacks without the step of boiling and peeling eggs themselves at home.

Buying it

Check whether the eggs are peeled or still in-shell, and look at the sell-by date, since pre-peeled eggs have a shorter shelf life than in-shell ones.

Storing it

Refrigerate hard-boiled eggs at all times and use peeled eggs within about a week; in-shell hard-boiled eggs can keep slightly longer.

Keeps about 7 days in the fridge.
