Tag: Choosing eggs

According to a 2016 study, pasture-raised eggs contain twice as much omega-3 fat, three times more vitamin D, and seven times more beta-carotene than eggs from conventionally-raised hens. The nutritional profile of an egg is not determined by its color, but by the diet and living conditions of the chicken that laid it.

According to the USDA, Grade A eggs have whites that are 'reasonably firm,' making them ideal for incorporation into various batters. This means Grade A eggs are good for baking and can be used in almost all recipes where eggs are mixed in and the visual appearance of a whole egg is not the primary concern.
