You may think it’s funny that someone who doesn’t have chickens wrote this post. To you I say but. In my free time, I enjoy learning about the best practices for raising chickens. I share the information with my friends who have feathered eggs layers until I am able to use them myself. Please share any helpful information if that is you!
With their adaptability and versatility, eggs are one of the most versatile protein sources. Not all eggs are equal. Although I think any egg is better that no egg, there are differences between them.
Farm-fresh eggs have a special taste. Store-bought varieties are getting better, but they are still not as good as farm-fresh. Farm-fresh eggs have a more vibrant yolk and a richer flavor than store-bought eggs. If you are lucky enough to have your own backyard chickens or know someone who sells farm fresh eggs in your neighborhood, I recommend trying them out.
Eggs from farm-fresh chickens are usually healthier, with bright whites and vibrant yolks. The reason for this is that most farm-fresh egg come from chickens who are allowed to forage their own food, which results in eggs with higher levels of nutrients. The “100% vegetarian-fed” message on some cartons of eggs makes me laugh because chickens don’t eat vegetarian food. They eat a variety of foods, including grubs and worms. This helps to add nutrition to their eggs.
Store-bought and farm-fresh eggs require different storage methods. I’ve put together some must-know storage tips for farm-fresh egg so that the next time you want to make an omelet, or hard-boiled eggs, you can have the freshest possible eggs.
