Where can I buy free-range eggs and how can I be sure they are free-range?!
Answers: ARe free-range eggs actually better/healthier?
Most high end grocery stores will carry them and there will be some type of marking on the carton and sometimes the eggs themselves. Most rural areas have farmers who sell their eggs (some deliver)
Free range eggs may be broader, and have more of an orange colour to their yolks due to the abundance of greens and insects in the diet of the birds. An orange yolk is, however, no guarantee that an egg was produced by a free-range hen. Feed additives such as marigold petal meal, dried algae, or alfalfa meal can be used to color the yolks
studies suggest the nutritional content of eggs from genuine free-range hens (hens that forage daily on a grass range) is superior to eggs produced by conventional means. These studies report higher levels of Omega 3 and Vitamins A and E, and lower levels of total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, and Omega 6.
yes they are healthier.
you can get them at tesco.
good choice.
I couldnt eat a battery egg,knowing what the poor animals suffer.
an egg is an egg
its been proved there is no difference in quality or taste
In the past, there have been substitutions. so if u want to be be really sure grow your own or go to a farmer and see where and how he keeps his chickens ( hens).
