Fresh is best, and eggs are no exception! Eggs are a great source of protein while providing essential nutrients like vitamin A, multiple B vitamins, selenium, folate, phosphorus, calcium and zinc.
However, there are nutritional differences between “fresh” eggs raised in a farmer’s pasture or your own back yard compared to those purchased in the grocery store. One of the primary reasons that fresh-raised eggs are more nutritional than conventionally raised eggs is due to the diets of the chickens. Chickens that are roaming the yard or pasture are pecking at grass and bugs, getting more leafy greens and natural proteins than those raised in poultry houses that are likely getting fed a pelleted feed.
Farm-fresh eggs often have a fresher, richer flavor, so now is a great time to support your nutrition resiliency!
