We are always being told that eggs from hens that are raised in different conditions are going to be better or worse for us, but how is that even possible?
Well, it turns out that the conditions in which they live does have an impact on what is going on with the eggs and from a nutrition and health point of view, it does have a positive change. For example, it has been scientifically proven that eggs from hens that are raised on pasture rather than the more commercial farming on an industrial scale contain more minerals and positive things for our health than their commercial cousins.
The most important changes are that their eggs have been shown to contain double the amount of Vitamin E as well as more Omega 3 and 2.5 times the amount of the healthy fatty acids. In other words, our bodies will be able to take more from these eggs than it would have been able to do with other options that are often cheaper in price.
So, the next time that you read how certain eggs are better for you, then just believe the science behind it as they do actually know what they are talking about.
