5. Free-Range vs. Factory-Farmed Eggs
Free-range hens with varied diets usually produce darker yolks. Factory-farmed hens eating mostly processed grains produce lighter yolks. Some commercial farms add color enhancers to feed to darken yolks artificially.
6. Health Benefits of Dark Yolks
Rich orange yolks are often higher in lutein and zeaxanthin, carotenoids that support eye health and may protect against age-related vision issues like macular degeneration and cataracts.
Conclusion
The color of your egg yolk reflects the hen’s diet, with darker yolks usually indicating higher nutrient density. Yolk color doesn’t affect taste or freshness, but choosing eggs from free-range hens often means you’re getting more nutritious eggs. Next time you crack an egg, notice the yolk color — it’s a small hint about the hen’s health and diet.
