The omega-3s in flax are the vastly inferior ALA omega-3 fatty acid. Yeah, and I think it's BS when they incorporate flax into the diets of chickens to boost their omega-3 content. I don't think such a shell would provide much protection in nature from predators and even a slight variance in environmental conditions. I swear, some of these hens must be fed such paltry nutrition, because I've noticed that their egg shells are really opaque - when put in a light source, the shell becomes translucent. Whatever the bare minimum of nutrients provided to her offspring will be trickled down to the developing egg, and so it will at least be given a fighting chance at the start of life. I think the reason why there is little discrepancy between the nutritional values of eggs is because a mother will always bend over backwards to provide for her offspring. fresh eggs will have a clearer whites and the yolk is firm and doesn't look flattened out.

If you think that you got a 'watery' egg, it's possible that the batch simply wasn't very fresh. If anyone really thinks that they can tell the difference between different eggs, you should really do a blind test to see if you aren't just fooling yourself. people tend to think that deeper coloured yolk is nutritious so some farms intentionally give the lot the feed that yields deeper colours. as pointed out by others already, it is entirely dependent on the feed. there was one brand that fed ginseng to chickens, which was a total scam as it was found that chickens were indeed fed ginseng, but only the ginseng by-products left over from making other ginseng products, and it only consisted of 0.1% of their total feed intake.Īnd colour of yolk was found to have no effect on nutritional values either. there is no difference in nutritional values between 'factory' eggs, free range, organic, and other fancy types of eggs. depending on what feed the chickens ate, companies were charging more money for them.Īn exposé was done by an investigative tv show and their findings were basically same as CBC's. There was a premium egg trend in korea a few years back. What they found was that there was no difference in nutritional values between 'average' eggs and the 'premium' 'eggs. One of CBC's shows did an episode about eggs, when omega-3 and organics eggs were all the craze, i guess it still is for some people, a few years back.
