Benefits of pasture-raised, free-range hen
eggs over supermarket eggs from a processing plant:
- Age - Fresh this week vs. supermarket eggs tend to
be 1-2 months old. The f resher the egg, the richer the flavor. Note: fresh eggs
are more difficult to peel so if wanting for hard boiled eggs, sprinkle backing
soda in water while boiling or have them sit in the fridge for a month.
- Yolk Color – Influenced by diet. Yard hens that forage
for bugs and greens will produce a deeper yellow, almost orange color yolk.
- Nutritional Content - Up to six times more vitamin D, two times
more omega-3 fatty acids, more vitamins A and E and up to one-third less
cholesterol. *2007 Mother
