Eggland's Best taste test:
In as controlled an experiment as I could manage, I separately scrambled an EB and a cheapo egg this am. DH could not tell the difference and neither could I. I cannot speaks for nutritional differences, but I don't think I'll be buying too many EBs.

You can tell just from looking that Eggland's Best are different from mine, and I like the taste better, and I like the nutritional part. Having said that, I don't think anyone is trying to convince anyone else to spend the extra $1 or 2 on them. To each his own. nancy |

I contacted EB and they offered a dozen free eggs, but I said no I don't want free eggs, just wanted you to know. I know that the bloodspots won't hurt a thing, but I don't like seeing them in my eggs since it's off-putting to me. Cheri |

I cannot speaks for nutritional differences, but I don't think I'll be buying too many EBs. IMO, unless the only way you eat eggs is scrambled, this wouldn't be an objective test due to all the extra ingredients involved. The best test would be comparing poached eggs, as fresh eggs are critical for good poached eggs - plus it's just egg and no other flavours. Failing that, a boiled egg would be a good way to compare. |

All 4 had blood spots. I don't know about the rest of them as I wasn't the one who cooked them and nobody said anything about it to me. |

And today eggs are candled robotically, there is no sloppiness. I can't remember the last time I found a blood spot, has to be more than 20 years ago, and I use a lot of eggs. http://www.incredibleegg.org/egg-fac.../b/blood-spots Eggshell color is due to diferent breeds of chicken. |

Today eggs are candled sonically, and with intense lighting that's electronically scanned, it would be exceedingly rare for the machines to miss a blood spot or a cracked shell. Anyone buying eggs from a neighbor with a few chickens those eggs are probably not candled at all, they likely have some older chickens near the end of their egg production and those are the eggs most likely to contain bloodspots, and also tend to have cracked shells. |

I think leghorns have been bred to not lay eggs with blood spots more than rhode island reds have been.

Not in the slightest. Egg shell colour is controlled by the breed of hen. Each breed lays one colour of egg throughout its life, regardless of age or physical condition. Janet UK |

Since we raised chickens in the old days, a couple thousand at a time, I really don't need you to tell me about them or turkeys. We candled by hand, and when we did come across blood spots, we put them in containers and shipped them to bakeries. Cheri |

I call it sloppy when two blood spotted eggs end up in the same dozen. Cheri |

I rarely make my scrambled eggs the same way twice, I'll add things like milk or cheese, pepper, salt... finely chopped capsicum, onion or anything else that sounds good at the time. I always cook them in butter though - that's probably the one thing I do consistently. Sometimes I cook my scrambled eggs firm, sometimes on the sloppy side. Just plain egg on it's own sounds a little, well, plain for me. |

Eggland's Best taste test:
I put hot sauce on scrambled eggs, tried pickled jalapenos in them once and didn't like it. I doubt jumbo white eggs come from leghorns, black minorcas maybe?

Yes, definitely that is the only way for a taste test. |

Extra ingredients? A sprinkle of salt on the finished eggs was all I added.. Same pan, same heat - in fact, I did them simultaneously, working like a beaver with a spatula to keep them separated. Maybe I'll do another experiment with hard cooked just to see what happens. |
