The Importance of Egg Quality

Choosing high-quality eggs is essential for both health and nutrition. Conventional eggs, often stored for extended periods, may be sourced from chickens fed unnatural diets including GMOs and animal byproducts. In contrast, pasture-raised organic eggs come from chickens that are allowed to forage and consume a natural diet, resulting in eggs that are richer in beneficial nutrients. These eggs exhibit more vibrant yolk colors due to their diet and contain higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins A and E, which contribute positively to overall wellbeing.
