Do you notice the color of the yolks? The egg that was straight from the farmer is a rich orange, while the other two eggs have a dull yellow yolk. The orange yolk is the type that you want to eat. Eggs with darker yolks have more nutritional value, as some studies have shown that they have more omega-3s and vitamins and less cholesterol.
But why are there two different types of yolks? Well, the color is influenced mainly by the hen’s diet. Free-range hens that eat a varied diet of grains, bugs and other organic matter tend to produce more flavorful eggs with deeper colored yolks, compared to those that eat factory chicken feed.
