Eggs are a delicious and inexpensive source of protein and other nutrients. Selecting eggs from either a store or a farm stand involves inspecting their physical characteristics, their surroundings and, in the case of farm fresh eggs, the conditions under which they were harvested. Choosing high-quality eggs will make your cooking more flavorful and nutritious, as well as more visually appealing. While the majority of eggs on the market are not specialty eggs, an increasing number of markets now offer organic, free-range and omega-3 enriched eggs. Understanding the differences between these labels will help you to choose eggs of the highest quality.

Key Takeaways:
- The color of an egg’s yolk can help you determine the overall health of the chicken and the environment in which they existed.
- The darker orange colored yolks indicate that this originated from a healthy chicken, exposed to proper daylight, and allowed to eat a natural diet of provided grains, plus grass and other insects.
- The more yellow yolk indicates a chicken that was raised in the unhealthy conditions of a chicken factory, where they are exposed to little light, and live in filthy conditions.
“If you guessed that the dark orange yolk comes from the healthiest egg, then you guessed right.”
