Are Expensive Eggs Really Worth It? Dr Ekberg

eggs can be a great food but make sure you get good eggs if you notice in the

aisle here we have eggs all the way from dollar 1.39 up to 7 something so you would

wonder is there really such a big difference and the answer is yes do if

you if you look there's some that don't have anything then there is cage free

and then there's free-range and then there's pasture raised so the egg can

only be as good as the health of the chicken that made it and the more space

and the more grass and the more bugs and the real food the chicken has the

more nutrients are going to go into the egg

so sometimes we get really really spoiled with cheap food and we just look

side-by-side and this was a dollar this one's two or three dollars but if you

think about it if you pay $5.99 for some really really healthy eggs that's still

only fifty cents a piece if you make an omelet you can make two egg omelets for

$1 and you get sensational quality so what I'm excited about is how many just

a couple of months ago you were hard-pressed to find pasture-raised eggs

and now here on this shelf we find eight different kinds of pasture-raised eggs

I am excited and I don't know about the standards or criteria but a lot of these

are volunteer and you're labeled for a hundred and eight plus square feet per

chicken or per hen so that's a good amount of space that's like 10 by 10

square feet and you know these chickens are

outside they're eating bugs they're eating grass they're eating things the

chickens are supposed to eat in addition to I'm sure they're getting some some

corn and other things but healthy chickens make healthy eggs for the ones

that we have tried we have been very pleased when you crack them open there

is a very deep orange color to the yolk far far from the pale yellow that you

find in the cheap eggs so you get what you pay for spend a

little extra and get high-quality eggs it is still very inexpensive food and if

you vote with your ball vote with your wallet means if you spend the money on

the good stuff they're going to make more of it so let me know if you have
