I realize that many are sensitive to eggs. But if you are one of us lucky ones that can include this nutrient-dense food in your diet, please read on...
I want to provide you with information on the differences and benefits of pastured eggs compared to free range or cage free eggs.
This is a conversation that comes up regularly with my clients.
There are big differences in the nutritional value of eggs. It is important to choose pastured.
Pastured eggs come from chickens that have access to open fields where they can forage for their food, eat insects and plants, and enjoy the sunshine. They are allowed to move around freely and are not confined to a specific area.
Free range and cage free eggs, on the other hand, come from chickens that are not confined to cages but may still be kept indoors or in a small outdoor area.
Here are some benefits of pastured eggs over free range or cage free:
Nutrition: Pastured eggs have been found to contain higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids (the good anti-inflammatory ones), vitamins A and E, and beta-carotene than free range or cage free eggs.
Taste: The diet of pastured chickens often includes a wider variety of foods which can lead to richer and more flavorful eggs.
Animal Welfare: Pastured chickens live in more natural and humane conditions where they can engage in natural behaviors like scratching and foraging.
Environment: Pastured chickens require less energy-intensive food and produce less waste, making them more environmentally friendly than chickens raised in confinement.
Furthermore, pastured eggs are free from antibiotics and hormones that are often used in conventional egg production. This means that you are not consuming any harmful substances that can have negative effects on your health in the long run.
You will notice that pastured eggs have bright orange yolks instead of pale yellow. This is a sign of a nutrient packed egg.

If eggs are a part of your diet, upgrade to pastured eggs if you can. They are well worth the added expense as an upgrade to your health.
