Sometimes, there’s no telling what you’ll find when you crack open an egg. While we generally hope for nothing unusual, one detail often overlooked is the color of the yolk. Sure, it’s supposed to be yellowish, but are we paying enough attention to just how yellow our egg yolks are? Findings indicate this detail may reveal more than you think.
The color of an egg’s yolk varies based on its source. This isn’t a coincidence; an egg yolk’s color directly reflects the nutrients the hen was fed, which in turn influences what you consume.
Pastured Eggs (Type #1)
The darker the yolk, the more nutrients it typically contains. This richness usually results from the healthier, more varied diet of free-range hens, which includes corn, grain, and the occasional bug or vegetable. Pastured eggs are the most nutritious of the three types.
Caged Eggs (Type #2)
