Caged Eggs (Type #2)
Caged hens, fed primarily wheat and barley, produce eggs with lighter yolks. These eggs are the least nutritious of the three types. Most eggs found in supermarkets come from factory farms that limit the hens’ diets to grains, which restricts their nutritional value. While not harmful, these lighter yellow yolks are less effective at delivering the nutrients you expect.
Free-Range Eggs (Type #3)
Free-range eggs are more nutritious than caged eggs. Hens that produce these eggs have a diet primarily of grains, supplemented with some insects. However, they are still less nutritious than pastured eggs.
Nutritional Comparison
The varied diets of pastured and free-range hens result in eggs rich in vitamin A (beneficial for bone and eye health), vitamin E (which promotes circulation and prevents oxidation), and omega-3 fatty acids (which can help lower cholesterol and blood pressure). Additionally, free-range eggs contain significantly less saturated fat and cholesterol than factory-farmed eggs, making them a healthier choice—though they may come at a higher price. A worthy investment, wouldn’t you agree?
