This picture was not photo-shopped. The eggs really are that much different. The egg on the left is a big box store brand and the egg on the right is one of our eggs which are raised on pasture. Wow! Aren’t you shocked to see just how much different the eggs are?
The yolk of the pastured egg is so much brighter and the taste is far superior. Still not convinced?
Why Pastured Eggs are Better
A recent study from Mother Earth News has revealed that eggs from pasture raised chickens are actually quite different than eggs from your standard factory farm chickens. The pasture raised eggs contain:
4-6 times as much vitamin D as standard supermarket eggs.
1/3 less cholesterol
1/4 less saturated fat
2/3 more vitamin A
7 times more beta carotene
3 times for vitamin E
And, in case you’ve not used pastured eggs before you will notice a HUGE difference in the egg shells. Imagine that the eggshell of store egg is like a sheet of printer paper. Well, then the eggshell of a pasture raised chicken would be more like the cardboard of a cereal box. They are that different!
