Tag: Grass fed eggs

According to a 2007 study by Mother Earth News, eggs from pasture-raised hens were significantly more nutritious than their conventional counterparts. This has fueled a growing debate: are grass-fed eggs better for you, and if so, how much of a difference does it really make for your health?

A 2021 study on the chemical composition of free-range versus conventionally-farmed eggs found no significant difference in overall protein content. While the protein quantity may be similar, research shows that the diet and living conditions of the hens, which includes a 'grass-fed' or pasture-raised system, can impact other important nutritional components, such as healthy fats.
