air, heat and light cause nutrients to decay faster
Yes, that's true.
So for instance, fresh spinach refrigerated for one week will have more vitamins than spinach a week old that is not refrigerated.
In Mrs Mimosa's case, if her eggs are a couple of days old, they would be nutritionally better than month old refrigerated mainland eggs. Refrigeration slows the degradation process, but doesn't stop it.
If you search Google for "fresh food vitamin loss" you'll find numerous sources with charts. One surprise I found is that for certain vitamins and minerals, some canned food products have a higher nutritional value than fresh, because the canned product was processed a day or two after harvest. By the time we purchase the fresh version of the same food, it could be many weeks old.
