Pasture-raised eggs are more nutritious than regular cage-free eggs — they’ve got more of the good stuff like omega-3s and antioxidants, and a better fat balance that could help keep your heart...

Eggs from hens fed a special diet with grass-fed beef leftovers have way less unhealthy fat and a much better balance of good fats compared to regular cage-free eggs.

Feeding laying hens a diet with 6% of energy from alpha-linolenic acid changes the fatty acid composition of their eggs, lowering the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio from 7.17 to 1.29 and making the lipid profile more balanced.

Eggs from hens fed a specific diet with 6% alpha-linolenic acid contain more omega-3 fatty acids and can replace fish as a source of these fats in the human diet.

When breeder hens eat a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, the eggs they lay contain more omega-3 fats, and the chicks that hatch from those eggs have higher omega-3 and lower omega-6 fatty acid levels in their heart, liver, brain, and lung tissues.

Laying hens fed a diet where 6% of the energy comes from alpha-linolenic acid produce eggs with nine times more omega-3 fatty acids and a much lower omega-6 to omega-3 ratio than hens fed a diet with 0.3% alpha-linolenic acid.
