Okay, so pasture-raised eggs are pretty awesome compared to the regular ones you find in the store.  Think of it this way: the chickens get to roam around outside, eat a more natural diet, and that makes a huge difference in the eggs they lay.  Basically, happier hens, healthier eggs!

These pasture-raised eggs are like nutrient powerhouses. They’ve got more of the good stuff, like vitamins D, B12, and folate, plus minerals like selenium and iodine.  Vitamin D is super important for strong bones and a healthy immune system, and a lot of us don’t get enough of it.

And that’s not all! They’re packed with healthy omega-3s, which are great for your heart and can even help with inflammation.  Plus, they have a better balance of omega-3s and omega-6s, often closer to 1:1, which is good for overall health.

Another bonus?  The hens that lay these eggs usually aren’t given artificial hormones or antibiotics. So, you’re getting a more natural egg without those extra additives.

Now, all eggs are good for you! They’ve got vitamins and minerals like A, B12, riboflavin, and selenium.  Plus, they’re a great source of choline, which is important for your brain and nervous system.  But pasture-raised eggs just take it up a notch with even more nutrients and healthy fats.

Pastured eggs are richer in vitamins A and E, as well as omega-3s. Hens that get to spend time in the sun also lay eggs that contain significantly more vitamin D.
