More interesting information about free
range chicken eggs to be uploaded shortly.
Free-Range Eggs The new results are in: Eggs
from hens allowed to peck on pasture are a heck of a lot better than
those from chickens raised in cages!
Most of the eggs currently sold in
supermarkets are nutritionally inferior to eggs produced by hens
raised on pasture. Thats the conclusion reached following
completion of the 2007 Mother Earth News egg testing
project. Their testing has found that, compared to official
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) nutrient data for commercial
eggs, eggs from hens raised on pasture may contain:
1⁄3 less
cholesterol
1⁄4 less saturated
fat
2⁄3
more vitamin A
2 times more omega-3 fatty acids
3 times more vitamin
E
7 times more beta carotene
Many other
research test results from different organizations have found
similar results.
