Egg quality depends on the hen’s living conditions and diet:
✔ Pasture-raised or free-range (access to sunlight, bugs, and greens).
✔ Organic feed (no GMOs or synthetic pesticides).
✔ No antibiotics or hormones (common in factory farms).
🛒 How to Buy the Best Eggs
Look for labels: "Pasture-raised" > "Free-range" > "Cage-free" > "Conventional".
Farmers’ markets: Ask about the hens’ diet and living conditions.
Store-bought brands: Vital Farms, Happy Egg Co., or local organic brands.
❓ FAQs
Are brown eggs healthier than white eggs?
No! Shell color depends on the hen’s breed—nutrition is the same.
Why do some eggs have double yolks?
Young hens sometimes release two yolks at once—not harmful, just rare!
Can you eat eggs with a pale yolk?
Yes, but they’re less nutritious than deep-orange yolks.
