Are expensive eggs better?

But nutritionally speaking, there isn’t a huge difference between conventional eggs and organic. Some claim that when chickens produce healthier eggs when they can eat their natural diets, but the studies aren’t convincing, says Passerrello. “It’s unlikely to have significant effects,” she says.

What kind of eggs are healthiest?

The healthiest eggs are omega-3-enriched eggs or eggs from hens that are raised on pasture. These eggs are much higher in omega-3s and important fat-soluble vitamins (44, 45). Overall, eating eggs is perfectly safe, even if you’re eating up to 3 whole eggs per day.

Organic farms certified by the Soil Association have to provide more pop holes (exits from the hen house) for egg laying hens than ‘free range’ farms do. All organic birds are fed on GM-free feed whereas with eggs laid by ‘free-range’ hens there are no requirements regarding the GM status of feed.

What is bad about free range eggs?

Most commercial laying hens, free-range or otherwise, are high egg yielding breeds (e.g. white leghorn), which can lay over 300 eggs per year. Laying so many eggs every year takes a toll on the hens’ bodies, and increases risk of osteoporosis, which can lead to painful fractures and limb deformities [8].

What are the disadvantages of free range eggs?

• Greater exposure to predators such as foxes and eagles.
• Harder biosecurity control for farmers because of exposure to outside pathogens.
• An increased likelihood of feather pecking, infighting, social stresses, and cannibalism.

Flocks producing certified organic eggs must be antibiotic free by regulation. Eggs from hens treated with antibiotics cannot be classified as antibiotic-free, but the eggs themselves do not contain antibiotic residues. The list of antibiotics allowed by FDA for use in egg laying flocks is quite small, only three.

Should eggs be organic?

They’re Better for the Environment. Organic eggs are better for the environment we all live in.

Why Free-range eggs are better?

Another study found that beta carotene levels were also higher in free-range eggs. Other research has shown that eggs from pastured hens contain higher levels of flavonoid and carotenoid antioxidants, as well as anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids than eggs from caged or organically-raised hens.
