The more orange the yolk, the more nutritious and healthy. An orange yolk is a good indicator that the chicken spent time outside and had opportunities to eat worms and bugs. Also, it has higher omega 3's (that's a good thing).
Orange yolk is a reflection of the chicken’s diet, meaning that if the yolk is a deeper hue of orange, it’s likely the chickens are fed foods high in carotenoids.
It could also mean a high percentage of alfalfa in their diet which is used to artificially change the color of the yolk. Always buy heirloom or pastor raised chicken eggs. The hens they come from are happy, healthy, and taking caring of the environment. Eggs always taste better from happy hens.
@@MrResin-xk2mfso you can add alfalfa in the diet of a non free range or non Pasture Raised egg and make the yellow a deeper color? How can any consumer know which egg is actually more nutritious?
I just bought those heirloom blue Costco eggs and am eating the right now. I am impressed. I usually buy Pete and Gerrys. I think the heirloom are better. Regardless, of price, I will buy again. I think it's worth it.
I got the blue ones at Costco this week too. I want the brown ones back because i'm a little suspicious. I'm not convinced that these blue ones are anything but feed additives and/or dyes that are trying to look healthy but aren't. Neither of them say pasture raised and the blue ones don't even say free range or even organic. Maybe someone can analyze them to compare for actual nutritional value. Someday I hope to raise my own hens so I'll know I have 100% free range organic eggs.
I’m suspicious too… they look like Vital Farms quality but why won’t they put “certified humane” or pasture raised or ANY other information on them. Also cannot find what company is selling them to research online.
I'd say the the blue eggs taste similar to brown eggs. But I dont know. I had the opportunity to try some blue eggs. I decided not to try them. 😂 But there is a definite difference between the taste in brown vs white eggs to me.
@@AngelaGuthmiller ya, pretty sure my german father in law sold the chicken feed to the farmers and ask what color profile they found favorable. I would not waste my time making unwarranted comments about chicken yolk color otherwise.
I have had multiple blue eggs lately have two yolks in it. If it was one then I get it that’s lucky but not many of them!! Also one had what looked like a growth or a baby egg inside! I don’t trust these eggs!!!
