My egg taste experiment
Coworker brought me eggs from "her girls." I didnt like the eggs for
multiple reasons and I know she didnt care about the nutritional quality
of "her girls." It was just another way to earn extra money.
Pastured sounds great but I've never seen that word on eggs in any
store.
My mom has always been cheap-last time I was there I went to crack open
eggs-the shells were incredibly thin the whites like water and the yolks
funny color. I told her to stop buying those. Healthy eggs have strong
thick shells. Fresh eggs when cracked open "sit up" and don't spread
out. Old eggs spread out.
I buy by price-I figure the most expensive is just a marketing ploy and
the cheapest are cheap for a reason. Cage-free sounds good until you
have actually seen a chicken farm. Does the FDA define what a cage is???
Is it chicken wire, boards and batting, plastic, or what???
ps I have seen ostrich eggs-how come I have never seen turkey eggs? Any
turkey eggxperts here? :-)
