Introduction:
With so many options in the market—organic, free-range, omega-3-enriched—how do you know which eggs are the best for you?
1. Brown vs. White Eggs
The color of the shell doesn’t affect nutrition. It’s simply determined by the breed of the chicken.
2. Cage-Free, Free-Range, and Pasture-Raised—What’s the Difference?
- Cage-Free – Hens live in indoor barns, but not in cages.
- Free-Range – Hens have access to the outdoors.
- Pasture-Raised – Hens roam freely on open pastures, resulting in the healthiest eggs.
3. Organic vs. Conventional Eggs
- Organic eggs come from hens that eat organic feed without synthetic pesticides.
- Conventional eggs may come from chickens fed with commercial feed.
Conclusion:
For the highest nutrition and ethical choice, pasture-raised, organic eggs are the best option.
